A detailed list of clothing to bring can be found at the bottom of this page.

Immediately below is a general summary of who brings what.

Passengers bring:

• Own sleeping bags
• Rain gear
• Personal clothing and toiletries (detailed list below)
• Camera equipment and ample batteries (limited electrical power is available on the Weather Permitting for recharging camera equipment when we’re on the boat.)

Weather Permitting Alaska will supply:

• All camping gear
• Rubber boots and wet gear
• Dry bags for personal gear
• Double sea kayaks with all the accessories
• Signaling and first aid equipment
• All cooking equipment and all meals while on the trip.
• Two guides and
• Two power boats

Detailed List of Clothing:

• Underwear: Your regular underwear is fine.
• Long Underwear: Polypropylene or wool — not cotton. Bring at least two pair.
• Wool Socks: The warmth, cushion, and absorbency of thick wool socks are important. There is nothing worse than wet feet. Bring several pair — enough to change your socks each day.
• Pants: A synthetic pair like Polartec. They don’t absorb much water, are warm when wet, and dry quickly. Bring one pair other than what you are wearing to be used as a reserve.
• Shirts: Warm long-sleeved wool or synthetic. Cotton soaks up water and becomes cold and uncomfortable. Bring one or two.
• Other Shirts: Short-sleeved or T-shirts. Bring two or three.
• Comfortable Shoes: Sandals (Tevas, Chacos, or Crocs) are great for use around camp. Most of the time you will be wearing rubber boots that we provide.
• Fleece Jacket: This is your insulation layer.
• Synthetic or Down Jacket: This is very nice to have at camp at night, especially if you get cold easily.
• Rain Gear: Please bring Gortex rain jacket and pants.
• Warm Hat: Should be wool or synthetic and cover ears.
• Gloves: We provide neoprene paddling mitts. Bring one pair fleece or liner gloves to wear at camp to keep warm.
• Shorts: Bring one pair just in case it’s sunny.

Personal Gear/Equipment

• Sunglasses: One pair — polarized sunglasses allow you to see into the water.
• Binoculars: For wildlife viewing.
• Medications: Please bring any medications you depend on.
• Toiletry Items: Toothbrush, comb or small brush, personal items, disposable razors, etc. It is best not to bring sweet smelling perfumes, sprays, and lotions — they might attract bears.
• Miscellaneous: A cap with sun visor, sunscreen, bug spray, camera, extra batteries, bandanna, small towel or washcloth.
