What to Wear on a River Trip

What to Wear & Bring

-Swimsuit/nylon shorts (avoid cotton because it stays the temperature of the water and keeps you cold)
-Shoes that can get wet or secure sandals with heel straps
-Wetsuits for spring trips (available for rent)
-Wetsuit boots all season (available for rent)
-Fleece jacket and fleece socks (not necessary – just provides added -warmth if you tend to get cold)

For Rivers With Class I, II, & III rapids:

Wear quick-drying clothes like nylon shorts and a swimsuit with shoes that can get wet (they must have a strap around the heel, no flip flops or slide on shoes). In spring and on high water trips wool, fleece or any synthetic garment is recommended. These materials stay warm when wet, unlike cotton which stays the temperature of the water. We have wetsuits, fleece and wetsuit boots available for rent in all sizes from small children through large adults (up to 300+ pounds).

For Rivers with Class IV & V Rapids:

Wetsuits and wetsuit boots are required and wool, fleece and synthetic jackets and socks are recommended. We recommend you arrive at the trip’s designated meeting location with a swimsuit under your clothes so you can easily slide the wetsuit over your swimsuit. Overnight trips require camping equipment (tent, 10 degree sleeping bag, pad or cot if desired – high quality rentals available) and personal gear (warm camp clothes, extra fleece jacket, rain gear, bug spray, toiletries, extra socks, warm jacket, hiking boots/shoes, warm hat, gloves…). Don’t forget your waterproof camera, eye glass straps, water bottle, sun glasses, sunscreen, lip balm and a sun hat as well as your sense of humor and adventure!

Insomnia and depression are very closely related. Sometimes it’s hard to determine what came first. Is it insomnia causing your depression, or is it depression leading to insomnia? Now an extensive history taken by your physician can sometimes help determine if your insomnia came first. Taking an extensive history by your physician may help determine if your depression came first. Treating the underlying depression is needed to help treat your insomnia, because if you try treating the insomnia with the use of sleep aids or other techniques and you haven’t treated your depression, you will have a harder time treating your insomnia.

So there are chemical imbalances that are seen in depression which might be also contributing to insomnia at night. That’s why it is important to treat your depression before treating insomnia. So treating your depression in order to alleviate insomnia might include the use of medications such as antidepressants, but also talk therapy or seeing a psychologist, which may help avoid the use of medications and might help you learn to cope with your depression a little bit better without the use of medication.
