How To Pack for a Kayak Camping Trip - A 'How to Kayak' Video
Dec 14, 2025
Kayak camping rocks! That being said, it's a little harder to pack for a kayak camping trip than a canoe camping trip (if you're using a sit inside kayak), because you have to break your gear into small bags and distribute those bags throughout your kayak. In this video, I walk through all the gear that I took down the New River in North Carolina, for an overnight kayak camping trip over a very cold couple of days.
