Now this is an outdoor activity people engage with in many ways!
From canoeing to kayaking and paddling around the coast or following a river.
The advantages if you for example use a canadian canoe are quite a few.
You can take a heavier load of equipment and supplies with you.
Making it so you can be gone for a couple of days without needing to refill.
More importantly you can take a friend with you!
One thing to note, allways use a life jacket.
Accidents can happen and you don't need much time under water before you have drowned!
I use a canoe for two purposes!
The first is going on expeditons for a couple of days following a river.
I do this in a group with my friends as it requires some extra logistics and planing.
There are places along the rivers that you have to lift up the canoe and all your gear,
which can be quite challenging sometimes.
The second is going out to islands in lakes and close to the coast line at sea.
These are more relaxed trips, I set up camp a day or two and just enjoy the scenery together with a beer!
