Tips and Tricks
All wilderness paddlers eventually develop a 'repertoire' of tips and tricks - the techniques they use to make life simpler and tasks easier while they are out on or preparing for trips. These are our ways of doing things, refined by trial and error over years of paddling.
This section of the site is an opportunity for everyone to share those little gems of wisdom and skill with their fellow paddlers.
Have one you'd like to pass on? Send it to us by email and we'll be glad to post it in this section.
