Filson Dry Bag Small

“You really don't need much- A PFD that is comfortable enough that you'll actually wear it; note that kayaking pfds are different from boating pfds. A Husky dry box for keys and wallet and maybe a cigar or whatever you like to do far away from other people, and a soft lanyard touch thru case for your phone (yes most phones are waterproof but they still fall out of your hands or mounts and sink). A small dry bag for snacks, a small soft cooler for drinks. Freeze water bottles for ice so that the water doesn't leak inside your hatch. I have a little lid that covers the mouth of my can so that chattahoochee water doesn't get into my beverages. You dont need anything fancy, and really the best return on your money will be spent on life jackets and paddles.”
