Therefore, you are offline for whitewater rafting trip? Listed below are some of the items you want to take with you, as well as some who want to avoid.
Quick-drying shorts
Nylon shorts are perfect. What to look for is a fabric that dries quickly. You want to be able to get splashed, jump into the water, and still have dry shorts at lunchtime. Your day will be much more comfortable that way.
What we do not want: Jean cut-off!
Cotton T-shirt
The cold weather travel a T-shirt cotton is the last thing you want, but in a summer trip is a good way to keep cool and keep getting burned by the sun. If you're sitting on the boat and get too hot, you can bathe in his shirt and put water in comfort instant!
What we do not want: extremely heavy cotton shirts with low-hanging sleeves that would make it difficult to swim.
Old athletic shoes
Old athletic shoes are big in the river. They remain on your feet when you're swimming and they offer more protection to the foot of sandals. No matter what kind of sneaker you wear, make sure you've broken them before their journey to avoid blisters.
What we do not want: sandals or boots!
Hat with a ceiling
Whether a ball cap or a wide hat-wing sun, you have to wear a hat in their river trip. As we all know, protection from the sun is very important. A hat will keep his face, ears and scalp harsh rays. One exception: if you are going to be a Class IV-V river, you are required to wear a helmet during his trip. Using a hat under his helmet can often be uncomfortable. To avoid this situation, we recommend that you use a mask under his helmet.
What we do not want: Skullcap a hat, whether or not at all!
Sunglasses
Like when you're snow skiing, you have to protect your eyes from the glare. The use of good sunglasses is essential to avoid sun damage to eyes (make sure they provide UVA / UVB protection). Make sure you also have a strap retention as an accomplice or Croakies attached to his glasses and therefore are not at risk of losing.
What we do not want: depending on your hat to provide sun protection for the eyes.
Sunscreens
This is the single most important thing to keep in his rafting trip. There is nothing worse than having a big day on the river, then the suffering and the next day with a blazing sun. In addition, studies indicate that each sunburn increases your risk of cancer (especially all sunburn before age 18). Become a favour and slather on the sunscreen. Be sure to get one at least SPF 30. When you are applying, do not forget your ears and neck. And if you're not using a hat (God forbid!) Make sure you put sunscreen on the part hair too!

Take a Family Rafting Vacation
In everyday life, the creation and maintenance of the family relationship is more important than ever, but also more elusive.
It is no secret that remain near his family has a lot to do with how long you are able to spend with them. But if we are looking for is hard to find that moment, you're not alone.
Studies show Americans work 100 hours more per year that even the industrious Japanese-famous. And we work an average of three months, more than European workers. Couple that with the fact that we are the only country that does not mandate paid leave (even the Chinese get three weeks' paid leave law!) That the average American only takes three to four days of vacation a yearwell, is not surprised that 're feeling a bit tight for quality time with family.
Working long hours, not taking vacations, spending less time with his family - all this tends to create a feeling of disconnection with their loved ones.
For parents, the challenge is even more intense. Not only do you need to maintain a strong relationship with your spouse (the average time that married fathers spend alone every day is a miserable seven minutes!) But you should try to remain connected to the turn-the evolution of children. It is no wonder that children have a report of poor quality relationship with any parent who does not see often. The moms and dads do not need another hurdle to get the form of parenting in a world already worrying.
However, there is a solution ... Take time off.
Accept their vacation days with open arms. Do not worry about promotions or meetings that you miss. Do it for your spouse. Do it for their children. Take a family vacation. Teach your children by example how important it is to have time to rejuvenate your soul.
Studies show that the age of thirteen, a child spends 50% less time with their parents when the child was ten years old. Have your child an exception to this rule.
Of course, people river, we are part of the expenses of our family vacation time on the river. After all, everything has to open its start when George Armstrong decided a good way to spend time with her five children went to try his hand at this new thing called "white rafting." He worked for his family, can work for yours too.
We have even designated certain dates this summer as "family trips" and only families can reserve space on these trips so you feel that the spirit permeating all his family trip. Also, discounted fares for each trip. Best of all, everyone can find something to like about rafting. There is wildlife, landscape, the adrenaline of the rapids, the soothing nature of the calm water sections, the escape of heat of summer, relaxation of a night spent in the camp.
But if you do not choose a rafting trip with his family on holiday, just be sure to choose something. Take the time to maintain that relationship with her family alive and well. Children grow up so quickly and our lives can change in an instant. Things can never be the same as they are now. Take stock of the blessings in their lives.

History
Rafting is one of the earliest means of transportation, used as a means for shipping people, hunting, and transferring food.
In 1842, Lieutenant John Fremont of the U.S. Army first journalized his rafting expedition on the Platte River. Horace H. Day designed the equipment he used in rafting. Day’s rafts were constructed from four independent rubber cloth tubes and wrap-around floor.
In 1960s, rafting was then recognized and paths like Grand Canyon were routed and whitewater rafting companies were established.
In 1970s, rafting marked its major development as a leisure sport when it was then included in the Munich Olympic Games.
In 1980s, as rafting continued to gain its popularity, many rivers were opened for rafting activities including rivers in South America and Africa.
In 1990s, rafting was included in major game events like the Barcelona Games in 1992, Atlanta Games in 1996, and the whitewater events of the Summer Olympic Games hosted by Ocoee River in Tennessee Valley. In addition, the International Federation of Rafting was instituted in 1997 and in 1999 the first Official International Championship was held.
Currently, river rafting is still gaining popularity among extreme water sports in order to thrill and excite the raft passengers.
