Good morning sc/out/s, I'm getting ready for a 6 day canoeing trip with my gf and I'd like to get your opinion on our gear.
I've been doing this for a while so I'm not too worried; but constructive criticism is always helpful (especially if it can save me some weight). Also if you want to know more about any piece of my kit or why I bring it feel free to ask.
