Canoe Expedition Gear List
Summer travel in the Yukon is very enjoyable as long as you are properly prepared. The temperatures can range from 0 to 30 degrees Celsius so you must be
prepared for it all. The Yukon is, generally speaking, a dry climate but it does rain and when it does you’ll be glad you are well equipped with proper rain gear.
We supply good quality tents made by Mountain Equipment Co-op which hold up extremely well under Yukon conditions. If you have your own favorite tent
you’d prefer to use feel free to bring it along.
We supply each guest with a large and a small dry bag for your personal gear. We also supply all gear for canoeing and camping.
