an example ( not that you give a **** ) .... I own two WaterMaster kickboats

both at once a few times when I met other anglers that wanted to float a
river and work together on shuttle, once when a nice guy I met wanted to try
Hebgen, i.e. I loaned out the second one ... such times saved me money for
shuttle, and added companionship to the day,.... thus "take the extra one"
seems to follow experience. But, the last two trips I've never taken the
second one out of the truck ... so "leave the extra one home" also makes
sense, based on experience.

Someone has to tell you this, Larry.

Taking an extra kickboat that you probably won't use is way over the top.

As far as taking or not taking nonessential (or sometimes even
essential) stuff, I depend on the kindness of strangers. :-) It never
fails unless you're in some wilderness, and more often than not leads to
an interesting acquaintance.
