Recoil May 2013 11:56am, 22 May 2013 493 posts	0 Recoil Anyone got any advice for my first overnighter? Ive bought a small tent that will fit in my kayak and we are going to find a campsite along the way. A company will be picking us up on the sunday night and transporting us back to the start point.... So any advice on good small kit that will fit in my Robson Waikiki that I will need?

Jubear Jun 2013 12:51pm, 26 Jun 2013 572 posts	0 Jubear Just purchased some bouyancy bags and wedged them in the nose of the Green Piglet. They reach right down into the point and come up to just behind the footplate so I think they fit just fine. Should I rubber band or tie them in somehow? (Yeh I know I could ask the canoe club coaches at the weekend, but you lot are here and massively convenient! )

Nellers Jun 2013 1:18pm, 26 Jun 2013 25,438 posts	0 Nellers Probably, yes, unles your boat is posh and has eyelets. Bungied inflatables can come loose and a waterlogged boat on bungy cord to the bouyancy isn't going to help much.:-0
