Good lotion in the hand bag helps to soothe skin, and fixes dry situations. At the end of the day, you can freshen up. Zip-lock bag for the wet clothes To keep the dry and wet clothes in a single bag can be difficult because ALL of them can get moist after some hours.

Tape Paper tape will not work in wet situation but medical tape, duct tape or gorilla tape will be just great.

Slippers for the camp After rafting your shoes are wet and the sand by the river is very cool in the morning. To keep your toes warm and dry bring socks and boot with a sole.
