		[cool]I just put up this post, about add-ons, accessories and necessities for float tubing, on my float tubing board.  It has an attachment for a 16 page writeup with a lot of suggestions.  I couldn't attach it on the Utah board so here is the link.

		Tube, 
  Stop it, stop it, stop it!  I'm broke, broke, broke!!!!  Seriously though, I would weigh so much I couldn't walk with all that equipment!  I use the float tube for two feet mobility!  Ok, really seriously now.  Good info.!  I'm surprised at myself how much I learned on my own and am doing exactly what you wrote.  I think I have a "war" story for every point I learned for myself.  To name one, it can be a long walk home if you've lost your keys back there somewhere.  Also, keep your wallet in a safe place.  You can't imagine the consternation of replacing driver's license, credit cards, id. info, passes, pictures, etc.  Don't take it out when showing your license to a dwr guy and leave it on your bumper and drive off!!! 
  My first, next purchase will be a fish finder!  Need to save a few pennies.  I hope people follow up on spefic recommendations from you, since I know you have it all!!!!

		[cool]Sometimes you gotta laugh before you cry...and there are a lot of those lessons I learned from experience too.  But ya know what?  Us fishermen are just like young kids sometimes.  We still touch the stove even when someone tells us it's hot.  I guess there are some mistakes we all insist on making for ourselves.  Must be a qualification thing.  You ain't an official angler until you've had all those things happen to you. 
Oh well.  As I like to say, I don't claim to know all the answers.  But, as long as I have lived and fished, I DO know most of the questions.
