PDF reprint of an article on Lightweight Paddling from Backpacking Light Magazine (Print Version).
It’s early morning Christmas day, my birthday. Alison and I stand on the banks of a river deep in the Everglades. Mangroves line the river casting a deep shade. Tropical birds call. We feel more than a bit like a scene from The African Queen.
"Hey can you wait around a few minutes until we make sure everything fits in the Kayak?" Our 20-year-old, seasonal hire driver has just dropped us off. Spread around us is our food, gear, and dozens and dozens of bottles of fresh water. I don’t feel like a poster child for lightweight anything. This is our first long trip in a kayak. It doesn’t seem possible that both of us and all of our stuff will fit in the narrow kayak.
