Kayak Camping Setup, Tips & Hacks 2022
Are you ready to go on the kayaking trip of your life? Whether this is your first time going on a kayak camping trip or you’ve done it once or twice before, it’s critical to prepare correctly.
That starts with packing the right gear and picking the right camping spot. I’ll talk all about that and give you some helpful kayak camping tips and hacks in this article.
