Ive discovered that double bagging your backpack is a very good idea. A lot of backpacks will leak if exposed to rain or dropped in the water. I always line my backpack with a large, thick plastic bag (I usually use the lawn garbage bags). I also put my socks, underwear, and any other valuable items in individual ziplock bags and place them inside the lined backpack.

With these tips and canoe supplies check list, youll soon be on your way to a wonderful canoe trip.
