If a trip were to turn into an epic it is possible that someone may have been injured and/or we could be stuck out in the middle of nowhere.
Therefore my kit centres around three key elements/purposes:
I like to carry a range of kit that will help keep me and/or my paddling buddies warm and offer a little shelter.
If someone gets injured I’d like to go someway to help patch him or her up.
I’d like to ensure that morale stays high.
I have to weigh all of these needs against what is practically possible and the weight I can actually carry in my boat. Regardless this kit needs to be carried in my boat or on my person and needs to be kept dry. I am currently using an Exped Cloudburst dry sack for the bulk of the emergency kit that I carry. It is based around a traditional roll top dry bag but it has straps so that it can be used as a rucksack. It has a volume of 15 litres which means it is big enough to hold the essentials but will still fit in the back of my Liquid Logic Stomper.

If you find yourself in this situation get it warrantied. If you are out of warranty then it may be time to get the tools out.
Over the last 5 plus years I have repaired half a dozen or so Kickrs and Kickr Core.

Info from Spade:
Presenting to you the first glimpse of our new creek boat — SHAKTI.
A design inspired by the Full House and Slick, merged to bring out something powerful, balanced, and responsive. Taking the best features of both boats, SHAKTI weighs 21 kg and is also available with a lighter carbon outfitting making it around 17kgs. At 270 cm long, 68 cm wide, and 300 litres, it’s built to suit all kinds of paddlers.
SHAKTI is one of our special boats, from its powerful name and performance-driven design to the vision behind it.

Christmas day is always a big visitor day here on Unsponsored. In previous years visits go up by around 30%+. We started doing a Christmas day post a few years back and it has always been well received. I hope this post goes down at least as well and offers a little bit of escapism to those who need it.
Enjoy!

Getting some really good action shots is a waste of time if the memory card isn’t up to the job or fails during recording. Getting hold of a decent card is therefore super important.
The DJI Osmo Action 6 has a memory card capacity of up to 1TB. The DJI Osmo Action 6 uses a single UHS micro SD memory card slot, which is exactly the same as GoPro and other POV cameras.
