7

Explicar qué precauciones se deben tomar en los lagos cuando hace viento.

Usually early mornings are the calmest time on a lake. If you must canoe when it is windy you should stay to the edges of the lake because the wind is much stronger in the middle.

8

Demostrar señales de seguridad de canoa.

Unfortunately, there is no universally agreed-upon, standardized set of hand signals for canoeing safety. It is therefore very important that you review the signals you intend to use prior to departing, especially if your group consists of people who have not paddled together before, or come from different regions. Failure ot heed this advice could lead to tragedy, as some signaling systems point to danger, while others point to safety. The signals presented here are probably as close to "standard" as we are likely to find, as they are promoted by the American Whitewater Association, and therefore, have been circulated widely.

9

Planificar la ruta para un viaje en canoa de cuatro días, incluyendo la siguiente información:

9a

Obtener un mapa de los cursos de agua que planea usar.

9b

Ponerse en contacto con el Servicio Forestal o la oficina central del parque para conocer el área a la que irá para obtener los permisos necesarios (por ejemplo: incendio, campamento y canotaje).

9c

Si es necesario, hacer arreglos para que su vehículo sea transportado o para que alguien lo lleve a su vehículo (hay servicios de guía que realizarán esto por una tarifa).

Arranging the shuttle is one of the most complicated logistical activities you will engage in on a typical canoe trip.

Guide Services

Hiring a guide to do this for you is the easiest, but it is also more expensive. They are usually equipped to move canoes, people, and gear along the watercourse they serve.

Most cars at the put-in

With this approach, you will need at least three adults. The idea is that you leave all the boats and gear at the put-in with at least one adult, while two adults drive two vehicles to the take-out, leave one vehicle there, and then return to the put-in. When you reach the take-out by canoe, you must then transport as many drivers as you can back to the put-in the retrieve the other vehicles, while leaving as few at the take-out as possible to keep an eye on the boats and gear.

Most cars at the take-out

With this approach, you leave all the boats and gear at the put-in in the care of as few people as possible, while everyone else drives all the vehicles possible to the take-out. Then all the drivers pile into as few vehicles as possible (ideally, one) and return to the put-in. The advantage of this method is that when you reach the take-out by boat, most people can stay there and begin loading the gear and boats into and onto the vehicles while two people return to the put-in to retrieve the vehicle that was left there.

Arrange for a driver

This is similar to hiring a guide, but instead of getting someone with equipment to move boats, gear, and people, you use a friend who will not be going on the trip. This person will transport drivers from the take-out to the put-in, either before or after the trip. It is usually easier to do this before the trip, as it is easier to know exactly when your friend's service will be needed at the beginning of the trip vs the end. Many clubs have staff members who are willing to help, but are not able to participate in physical activities.

Which method you use depends on the amount of parking (and the relative security) of the put-in and take-out locations, as well as the amount of money available, or the willingness of a friend.

There are other approaches as well (such as leaving a bike at the take-out and riding it back to the put-in). Whichever method you use, be sure to think it through before you find yourself stranded at the take-out.

9d

Averiguar si se le cobrarán tarifas de campamento para el área en la que va a acampar.

Planificar el número de millas que navegará en canoa cada día y dónde planea acampar (recuerde que no será el único en el agua).

9f

Encontrar lugares para visitar y cosas para ver.

9g

Tomar notas donde están los porteos y cuán largos son.

10

Planificar un menú para el viaje de cuatro días en canoa. Contando con las distancias y los porteos, mantener su peso liviano para un transporte más fácil.

Here are some menu ideas:

Breakfast

• Pancakes, maple syrup, hot cider
• Oatmeal, dried fruit, hot cocoa

• Granola Bars, lemonade
• fruit leather, Chex mix

• Noodles with sauce, dried vegetable, cider
• Dried mashed potatoes, red cabbage salad (wrap the cabbage, carrots and onion in a paper bag or towel and put in a pot. It will keep for several days.)
• Noodles with instant vegetable soup, lemonade

11

Travesar un porteo de ¼ de milla o más. Debe portear su canoa y su equipo usted mismo o con la ayuda de su compañero.

12a

Hacer un viaje preparatorio de canoa por una noche con su grupo, practicando las habilidades que está aprendiendo en esta especialidad para que sea un viaje exitoso.

14

Dirigir un culto, como individuo o como grupo, durante un viaje de una noche en canoa. Si es posible, usar ilustraciones de la naturaleza en su reflexión.

You can also meet a requirement for Christian Storytelling, and that honor has good guidance for this requirement.
