Here's a story of a canoe trip that went wrong. The canoe capsized in rapids. The lady was stranded alone for 8 days but after rescue was treated in hospital and released. Sadly, her husband did not survive. There's some pretty rugged and remote (but beautiful) country up there. It's all boreal forest. Reading this story I was thinking how handy Canoedogs' PFD kit would have been.
