What to
Bring
Comfort is the key in
packing your personal gear. Mountain weather can be very unpredictable. A good
quality rain suit is one of the most important items on the gear list. A duffel
bag or soft bag is very convenient for packing trip gear. Rental sleeping bags
and pads are not provided unless they have been reserved on the rental
form.

If you need any of these
items and are unable to purchase them at your home town you may wait and get
them in Salmon. You may also call Rendezvous Sports here in Salmon to order
anything you need. Their number is (208) 756-4495. I am sure they will be able
to help you.
One note, quick drying
clothing is best, nylon, fleece, lycra, etc. cotton dries very slow and stays
wet and cold.
Try to keep it under 30
pounds per person please. Everything you take on the river has to fit in a "dry
bag." These dry bags are about the size of a large lawn garbage bag, 3.8 cubic
feet.
