Trip Preparation

September 2025—August 2026

Since September 2025, we have...

• Decided to circumnavigate Lake Superior together (yay!)

• Mapped out our route, purchased maps, and consulted some Great Lakes paddlers

• Figured out our gear list and assessed our gear needs

• Completed our emergency contacts and protocol planning

• Made our menu and calculated food quantities, nutrition, and cost

What the rest of our Fall 2026 will look like...

• Purchasing food and beginning to freeze-dry and dehydrate our own meals and snacks

• Contacting organizations and businesses to partner with for support

• Training to physically and mentally prepare ourselves for the expedition
