Buffalo River Questions...

Resupply should not be necessary but it is good to know ahead of time what and where resources are before you leave.

I still have a stash of food left over from my trip. The trip was valuable to me on many levels. Again, I don't think I could have had a better mentor and companion for this trip.

Do not take or rely on an ice chest. It is more of a liability than an asset. It is heavy, bulky and must be replinished with ice. I found that sourdough bread, apples and yogurt do very well without refrigeration on a week long trip. Do keep them out of the sun and close to the bottom of the canoe so they benefit from the cooler temps.
When I went to MI/WI this summer, I took an ice chest and soon found it simply was not practical. I am getting ready to spend a month on the road and my ice chest will not be going with me.
