If you’re travelling with Wilderness Scotland on a canoe expedition, we take care of the ‘Non-negotiable’ list in its entirety, and for ‘Actual Expedition Essentials’ we arrange for the camping, cooking and toilet equipment. We expect clients to plan for their own clothing and outdoor accessories. If travelling with us, ‘Creature Comforts’ will be provided by Wilderness Scotland. If expeditioning independently, these items are optional. 'Extras' are just that, not essential to your safety and you can do your trip without these items but they can make your trip just that bit better! We’ve listed a mobile phone as an extra, however, any expedition benefits from a GPS location device in case something goes wrong and your need assistance. Mobile phones do not always have the capacity to serve in this manner so we recommend you bring a dedicated device. These lists are optimised for our trips, but we hope that even if you’re embarking on your own adventure, that this outline will help you with your independent efforts. Going on a multi-day extensive expedition is a serious undertaking that requires a lot of equipment and preparation to be safe, this is just an outline of the kit, it’s all ultimately dependent on where you go, who you’re with and what you’re doing.
