Talking About Adventure In Small Boats

I thought I would share this from last year - Scareman's EC 2011 Equipment, Gear, and Food Lists and Weights.
I tried to inventory everything I had, and then tried weighing it. So I just scanned in some notes and lists that I started on scratch paper.

My equipment list is here:
Keep in mind that we have a lot of room on a sailboat 
Here's my equipment list, with weights. Can't believe how much one can fit in a kayak...

Kiwi your list is hard for me to cut the weight! I can cut some of it or make it where you are faster at camp but you have it pretty much together. Your tent is a biggie for weight reduction. We both know we could save with a down bag..
You kill me with sleeping bag and clothes weight do to size but I can start to catch up with shelter and cook kit.
This stuff is pretty neat to explore. I never worry about weight in a Kruger because speed overall works close enough loaded or empty unless doing sprints. Kayaks kick my a&& but Mr Whale has shown me that it does not have to be so with enough work.
If any of you big boys are trying to do Kiwies weight ya are not going to make it do to size limits unless you spend a lot of money on really good gear.

How about the daily quantity of water ?
We have way to much stuff in our tandem kayak for the two of us and we are kooking for ways to cut back.
Believe it or not, the forward and aft compartments in my 18 foot QCC-700 are bigger than in this Necky 23 foot long tandem.
I was wondering how much the people with kayaks take per day?

I usually carry 8L at a time, adding another 4L between CP1 and CP2 and again between CP2 and CP3 (because I do the WWW). Between CP3 and CP4/finish, I carry 4L. I use 4L MSR dromedaries. I tend to carry a bit more water than I probably need to, just in case... And once it meant I could share with someone who didn't have enough.

KB,
Thanks for sharing your list! It is far better organized than mine. Thinking about ditching my rubbing alcohol in favor of (purely medicinal) brandy. Does it work in the ears and feet as well as isopropyl? :)
I have assimilated and will pack the boat tonight in a dry run.
