The Checklist
Thinking back on the first time I paddled solo, I remember lying in bed the night before wondering if I'd remembered everything. Now, after doing it for 12 years, it's much easier. Almost all of my gear stays in my kayak and I just verify that it's on board before I hit the road.
It's a simple list for flat water paddling:
paddle
paddle leash (prevents loss of paddle)
PFD (personal floatation device aka life jacket)
whistle
bug shirt/sun hat
dry bag-change of clothes (under seat)
dry bag-first aide kit, bug spray, sunscreen, TP, bag for trash, compass, headlight, multi tool (under seat)
water
snacks
tow rope (attached inside)
dry bag (ID, car keys)
dry bag (cell phone)
