Daisy and Bal,

Thank you so much for the insight. When I go canoe camping, it's not a big deal, since we are in a group, but I always have a enough supplies to stay alive if for some reason we got lost/capsized. This is our first long backpacking trip (3-4 nights), and we'll be in Glacier, so I don't forsee us getting lost or losing each other. I like the tip of each having enough supplies in an emergency situation.
