What’s in the personal bag?

This is not the first blog I have written about personal lap bags and it will not be the last. The more time I spend on the river, the more my bag evolves. It also changes with the seasons and rivers that I’m working on. I don’t guide on any multi-day trips so this is what I carry for day trips on the local rivers.

I love my personal bag. The go to size is the Watershed Ocoee. You can fit a lot items inside the bag and it’s the most waterproof bag on the market.

Below is a list of the larger items:

1. Patagonia R1 fleece
2. Fleece hats
3. Extra straps
4. 8-1 Screwdriver
5. ½ Socket
6. Zip ties
7. Bandana
8. Multi tool
9. Watershed Ocoee dry bag
10. Sunscreen
11. Snack bars
12. Sunglass holders
13. Energy shots
14. Prussix/extra rope
15. Sewing kit
16. Bug juice
17. Extra sunglasses
18. Small first aid kit
19. Stuff sack to hold items

Other items:

Pen and paper, matches, cash, batteries, headlamp, lighter, earplugs, gloves, chapstick, and toilet paper (with doggie bag), hydration tablets.

We would love to hear what you carry in your bag!  SYOTR!
