Comfortable
loose pants that can
stretch. If you can
do a split with the
stitches around the
crotch holding up well,
it’s a workable pant.
Pink pants are fine, too
as long as you can walk
in ‘em.
Sport
t-shirt. Crew neck
tshirt is good. Save
those collaredtshirts
for a golf game with
retired folks.
Peak cap.
Buffs are good if you
have long hair.
Footwear.
We recommend you wear
shoes that have superior
grip on wet surfaces. A
shoe that has a drainage
system and quick drying
ability. Even better if
they have tuggers and no
laces. Good trail
running shoes work well.
Heavy boots take too
much time to dry and get
heavier when drenched.
Don’t forget to pack
extra footwear like
floaters. You would want
to slip into dry
footwear while heading
back.
Drinking
water. Minimum 2
liters.Maybe more. Don’t
neglect this and end up
sipping your colleague’s
water supply. That will
make you a liability.
Bring your adequate
water supply. Here’s a
tip – freeze a bottle
overnight with some
powdered drink and bring
it wrapped in a reusable
plastic bag. Everyone
would want a sip from
you in the afternoon
when all the water in
their bottles warm up.
Be in a position to
share your water, not
the other way around.
Hydration
powder. Like tang
sachets or other. Gives
you the extra push. We
like to push you hard..
Light packed
lunch. Avoid fatty
or greasy packs. Healthy
sandwiches are good.
Energy bars.
For those ‘in-between’
times. Simple peanut and
jaggery bars are great
too.
Personal
identification with
blood group.
Change of
clothes. Bring an
additional set of dry
clothing. This activity
can get you totally
soaked.
Towel.
Thinner the better.
Re-useable
plastic bag. Bring a
few along to dump your
soaked possessions in.
Cameras. Hand
phones. Watches on a
canyonning trip is only
good if you have sealed
them in secured plastic
or water proof bags.
Remember to pack
all this in one day
pack. We suggest a day
pack so that your hands
remain free while we
hike to the climbing
region. |
