If you pare it down to just the stuff you’ll need, and take the other stuff out, life will be a lot more efficient,” [Don Kirk] said. Another key bit of advice uncovered by Eric Sharp in the Detroit Free Press: arrive at the river before dark so that you get your bearings before you lose the light.
