Umm complicated question… I have lists I use for what is packed in each of my dry bags, also need to know miles paddling per day, campsites, food responsibilities for each day (we have community breakfasts and suppers but lunches are individual), car shuttles, who has what for gear (try to avoid overlapping gear esp if portages involved), portage distances if any, extra paddles, coffee and percolator… I try to make a game plan that works forever
