Looks like a good way to spackle the back of your legs when you get the green apple splatters after too many smores and PBRs.

Sleeping on a sandbar; braver man than me you are. I've seen water levels rise sudden and unexpectedly too many times to ever consider that.

Well, it's not very useful for that... but the best camping item I ever bought was my Tepui Kukenam

The trailer can get basically anywhere the Jeep can get, so I can get quite a ways off the beaten path.

You got the basics? And you're canoe camping? then this thing is what you seek:  Helinox Beach Chair.  

https://www.bigagnes.com/resources/products/Helinox%20Beach%20Chair-zm.jpg


Beach Chair


It's only  a couple of lbs, it folds up tiny, about the size of say three softballs in a line.  It's strong as hell, I'm 350 an it holds me fine.  it's fast and easy to fold up and unfold.   For canoe camping it's perfect. I use it motorcycle camping.  It is also tall in the back so you have a nice headrest.  

I have the helinox chair one and it's ok, but the lack of neck rest makes it kinda uncomfortable.  Perfect for kicking back in camp after a day in an upright canoe seat.



Wow.  That looked pretty good until I got to the price tag.  Ouch.

i've got a knock off of the Helinox Chair one as well,  it was 35 bucks and it's as comfortable as the original, and has better feet, but it doesn't have the headrest, once you've had the headrest, the other chairs suck. After a long day of motoring or canoeing,  it is awesome to kick back and kinda lay back.


even better if you have a hammock, but sans hammock, this is awesome for comfort in the sticks

Glowsticks. You can never have enough glowsticks.



I like these: http://www.amazon.com/Lumistick-Stick-Light-Sticks-Green/dp/B001GXAO1K?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage



They are a bit smaller than normal, and perfectly sized for pen slots in backpacks. They are also cheap (>$12/box of 25).

I don't know how far off the beaten path you might go, but if you're likely to be out of range of any sort of cellular signal (and most of humanity), and you want your loved ones, friends and yourself to have some peace of mind, there's the DeLorme InReach SE.  It enables two-way text communication and tracking via the Iridium satellite constellation, as well as an "SOS" feature if you find yourself, those in your party, or those you might cross paths with, in trouble.  The interface on the device itself is a bit balky, but it easily links with any smartphone or tablet through the free Earthmate app that resolves any of those issues. Another plus is it holds a charge for 4 days and it uses a micro-USB port for recharging, which also means that any portable power bank or solar device can be used to recharge it.

Currently, it is selling for about $290. However, it is usually closer to ~$260, but on a couple of occasions it has been on as at $225-$230. There is also a subscription fee, but you can activate and deactivate the device on a monthly basis, as needed. (*NOTE* DeLorme was recently acquired by Garmin.)


I've used it all over the past couple of years, including alone in Death Valley (so no worries about ending up like those German tourists ). Again, the peace of mind it provides cannot be overstated.

I thought we were coming back to Az next year? IDAHO? Shit.

I do have a build thread, but it's gone to Archive, and all the pictures are broken.

I also suggest looking at the Facebook 'Off-Road and Expedition Trailers' group. It's a closed group, but they'll accept you in a day or so. We were getting too many people showing up selling fake Ray-Bans.
