You have gone camping with the family numerous times and you have enjoyed these trips tremendously. It is a learning trip for the kids. The new environment is a venue for creativity. They think of ways to make use of the batch of pine cones and pretty dried leaves that they have gathered. It is also the best bonding time ever because there are no distractions, no telephone calls and no TV.

Much as you enjoy your bonding vacation with your family, there are times that you would like to go on a more strenuous adventure with your male friends. One that would involve cruising down the river in pelican kayaks. You prepare your kayaking gear which includes safety and elbow pads, first aid kits and river knives. You pack your drytop for protection against the cold water. You make sure that you have appropriate foot wear.
