NOTE: On a canoe trip, you must assume that EVERYTHING WILL GET WET! Even if it doesn't rain, your pack is sitting on the bottom of the canoe getting inundated with water dripping off your paddle every time you switch sides. There always seems to be water pooling in the bottom of the canoe! And of course if the canoe tips, then everything will be soaking. Therefore, when packing for a canoe trip, anything that you want to keep dry should be in waterproof bags inside your pack.
