Almost Final Algonquin Canoe Camping Trip Equipment and Gear List
Well, here is the almost-final-list (this may change depending on if I go solo or not etc..., as I have not heard back from my Dad as to whether he is going or not). If I go alone, I am going to be able to get everything into and onto my single knapsack... All of this weighs about 25 pounds for the knapsack and another roughly 10 pounds for the tent, sleeping bag, camping mattress and pots. If solo, I can cut down significantly on this list (take off about 20% - the italicized items):

Mungo,
Seems a pretty good list to me. Have you thought about transfering tins contents to larger ziplock bags? Saves a bit of weight and saves disposing of cans.
I didn't see a cookset or are you planning just to cook over open fires?
Cheers,
Pablo.
Sounds Good! What is your route? Yeah I would love to share links!
