Welcome to the Atlantic ICW Kayak Expedition
Equipment list
Folbot Greenland II Sea Kayak.
Lung-powered Air Horn that meets Coast Guard Rule 33 (Annex III), Flares, Whistle.
Schwinn Loop Folding bike. Many of the smaller towns along the Mississippi River are well back from the river to avoid flooding. This is the ideal way to get your provisions.
Solar Cookers: How to Make, Use, and Enjoy. This is a handbook published by Solar Cookers International that includes detailed plans for building a CooKit solar panel cooker. Here are many recipes.
Digital Camo Tarp, 12' x 16', Woodland (Needed to hide the kayak when going for provisions). Make sure you stake it out well and, if you are expecting it to be windy, tie it off with camouflaged rope.
With the First Need XLE ELITE Water Purifier you can get your water supply directly from the river. Removes bacteria, microbes, viruses, pesticides and solids.
This Nalgene Wide Mouth Cantene fits onto the First Need XLE ELITE Water Purifier.
Here
is a very clever trick using a
2l soft drink bottle and a towel to purify water.
Nokero solar-powered lighting. Always a good idea to have a couple of these available.
Luci® Outdoor inflatable, waterproof, solar-powered light.
The Midori Eureka 3-person tent is, quite simply, the best tent I have ever owned (and I have had many). It is well-made, roomy, has two doors, takes only minutes to set up, and is extremely well ventilated. It is also available in 2-person and solo versions.
