Useful for your trip

Transport
You can rent a kayak from Denis with adequate prices instead of buying your own. Denis also organizes delivery to the starting point of the route.
Food
A multi-day expedition requires a lot of calories. Breakfast: a large portion of oatmeal before dawn. Lunch: soup or instant noodles (40 minutes cooking). Dinner: buckwheat with stew.
Food
Food supplies for 10 days plus the opportunity to buy additional necessities in small settlements on the route. 4 bars for each day for snacks.
Tip
Use dry bags to protect your belongings from water, as water often penetrates into the kayak compartments when disembarking.
Tip
Register with the Ministry of Emergency Situations before the expedition. Know your route, approximate places to spend the night and places where there is a connection to check the wind forecast.
Timing
October in Primorye is already considered cool (water temperature is about 10°, at night the air is 0°), which reduces the number of tourists in places.
Tip
Take a sleeping bag with a comfortable temperature of -5°C for overnight stays. Power bank 50000 mAh with cigarette lighter for charging equipment and drone.
Tip
A compact folding solar battery charges the phone in an hour and a half in good sunlight.
Avoid
Choosing the wrong place to spend the night is dangerous - strong winds can overturn the kayak and damage the tent. Choose places protected from the wind.
Timing
Sunrise usually brings calm and ideal conditions for rowing. Plan the main transitions to the morning hours.
Tip
When rowing for many days, use the correct technique: the muscles of the back work, not the arms. This reduces fatigue and evenly loads the body.
Where to stay
On the route there are recreation centers mothballed for the winter, where you can wait out the bad weather. You can meet locals who will help shelter the traveler.
