Sharon’s Avocet LV has many wonderful qualities, but that list doesn’t typically include carrying capacity. So we were pleasantly surprised to discover how much it was able to hold on our recent six-day trip:
- Mountain Hardware Lightwedge 2 tent (in two dry bags)
- One dry bag of fresh produce
- One dry bag full of snacks
- One dry bag with six lunches
- First aid kit
- Boat repair kit
- Two one-quart water bottles
- Thermos
- Crazy Creek chair
- One dry bag with land clothes and toiletries
- One dry bag with paddling clothes
- Woody dutch oven
- Cutting board
- MSR water filter
- Six-piece pot set
- Trowel
- Miscellaneous day hatch contents (cag, notebook, paperback book, sunscreen, etc.)
Between the Avocet LV and Alec’s Pilgrim Expedition, we were easily able to carry everything the two of us needed, including camera gear and a substantial quantity of fresh produce. Not bad for a little boat!
