How is this thing organized? 

• We like to meet sometime prior to the trip (like a week or two before) to plan out what we think we want to bring on the trip. Apart from each individual bringing their own personal items, we usually will organize a shopping trip to acquire most group provisions. This allows us to minimize duplication, while also taking advantage of our collective experience and individual expertise - so to speak. We keep track of the receipt(s) and settle up accordingly.

• While each individual can certainly bring whatever they want for themselves, a list of the individual essentials might, more or less, look like this:

1. Personal items and clothing
2. Rain gear (we fish no matter what!)
3. Flash light(s)
4. Sleeping bag.
5. Pillow(s)
6. Towel(s)
7. Fishing rod(s)
8. Fishing tackle
9. Sunglasses
10. Sunscreen (if you need it)
11. Fish/Depth finder (if you have)
12. Two-Way hand held radios (if you have)
13. Boat Cooler
14. Camera and or Video (if you desire)
