What’s In My Kayak? – Talking gear on the Shoalhaven River
I just spent a lovely couple of days on the Shoalhaven River in the Morton National Park. The photos might make it look peaceful, but I did discover that this incredible valley and the cliffs act like a wind tunnel when you have strong westerly winds. Despite the howling winds and a couple of possums that kept coming into the vestibule of my tent, I managed to have a good night (thanks to earplugs).
The video below is a combination of one of my usual trip videos, but also includes information about all the gear I carry on multi-day paddles.

thanks for the update Robbo
would be interested in hearing your thoughts on food after all your experience, as I assume menu planning depends a lot on where you are headed and for how long.
I normally plan around having a fresh food for the first couple of days and then after that it gets progressively less interesting.
The first night I will try to have something with fresh meat (e.g. steak or lamb stir fry) and vegies. The second night will be a fresh(ish) ravioli or pasta. After that it tends to be packets of ready made meals (pasta, rice or risotto). I tend to avoid the dehydrated meals you get from camping stores. They are expensive and I find them very bland.
Breakfast normally consists of cereal with UHT (long life) milk and fruit.
Lunch will be wraps or crackers with salami, cheese, vegies, pate
Then there is always lots of snacks and fruit (apples and mandarins seem to last well).
