Sometimes packing for a trip can be the most daunting part— what to bring, what to leave behind, sometimes this can cause stress, especially when someone from the Crossing For A Cure Committee sends out an email and says to pack light, but bring everything you need for 3 days on an island, plus everything you need for what may be the longest paddle you have ever done.
Here is my preliminary packing list. I’m making it public so others, especially my paddling team, can see what I plan to bring and hopefully help everyone else figure out their packing list.
