After participating in a few paddling sessions at campgrounds, we quickly realized it was something we wanted to pursue further. Before investing in hard shell kayaks and a roof rack, we decided to start with two inflatable kayaks to make sure we truly enjoyed the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Our ultimate goal is kayak camping; loading up our gear, paddling across a lake or down a river, and finding a campsite that can only be reached by water. There&#8217;s something appealing about exploring at a slower pace and escaping the crowds, preferably without having to dodge too many power boats along the way.<\/p>\n<p>This page serves as our kayaking field journal. Here you&#8217;ll find trip reports, photos, wildlife encounters, campsite notes, and the gear we used on each adventure. As we gain experience, we&#8217;ll continue sharing what works, what doesn&#8217;t, and the places that keep calling us back for another paddle.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"camp-card\">\n<h3>Current Kayaking Gear<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Kayaks: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaglidepaddle.com\/products\/chinook-100-with-pump\">Aquaglide Chinook 100 Inflatable<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Paddles: Whatever came with kayak<\/li>\n<li>PFDs: Astral EV-Eight PFD<\/li>\n<li>Dry Bags: ALPS Mountaineering Torrent Dry Bags<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof Backpack: <a href=\"https:\/\/earthpak.com\/collections\/waterproof-backpacks\/products\/summit-dry-bag-backpack?variant=1672413544461\">Earth Pak Summit Dry Backpack<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Other Gear: <a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/06q4d3AU\">Kayak Paddle Case\/Holder<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"camp-card\">\n<h2>Latest Kayaking Trips<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"camp-list\" id=\"kayaking-trips\"><\/ul>\n<style>\nh1,\n.post-title,\n.entry-title,\n.page-title {\n  display:none !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<p><script>\nfunction showKayakingTrips(data) {\n  var box = document.getElementById(\"kayaking-trips\");<\/p>\n<p>  if (!data.feed.entry) {\n    box.innerHTML = \"<\/p>\n<p>Kayaking trips will be added here soon.<\/p>\n<p>\";\n    return;\n  }<\/p>\n<p>  data.feed.entry.forEach(function(entry) {\n    var title = entry.title.$t;\n    var link = entry.link.find(function(l) {\n      return l.rel === \"alternate\";\n    }).href;<\/p>\n<p>    var img = \"\";\n    if (entry.media$thumbnail) {\n      img = entry.media$thumbnail.url.replace(\"\/s72-c\/\", \"\/s600\/\");\n    }<\/p>\n<p>    box.innerHTML += '<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"' + link + '\">' + title + '<\/a><\/li>\n<p>';<\/p>\n<p>  });\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/www.theyhiketn.blog\/feeds\/posts\/default\/-\/Kayaking?alt=json-in-script&amp;max-results=4&amp;orderby=published&amp;callback=showKayakingTrips\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"camp-card\">\n<h3>&#x1f4ac; Questions?<\/h3>\n<p>Have a question about this campsite, trail, gear, or field notes?<\/p>\n<p>  <a class=\"camp-button\" href=\"\/p\/questions.html\"><br \/>\n    Ask a Question<br \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning to Kayak We&#8217;re new to kayaking and are learning as we go.
