I’ve recently moved to central Florida, and I was wondering what safety precautions to take when canoeing rivers like the Sante Fe. I’m not overly freaked out about the gators and water moccasins, but I’d like to know exactly what to expect, and how to prepare (short of taking a shotgun with me lol).
I’ll probably take a spare cell phone with me, in an airtight pouch in one of my pockets, and a utility knife and TONS of bug spray. Also, I’ll be going for 3-4 hours at a time, if that matters.
Any other suggestions?

Seriously, folks… The Northern states (mainly New England) used to run this country with a democratic iron fist because the south had no means of obtaining information. Now they had to go ahead and install cable internet in states like Tennessee and Texas. What gives? I mean, seriously, southerners should be happy with a trailer, a six-pack of Red Dog, and a BB Gun for ‘shootin’ squirrels’ (direct quote from a Kentuckian).
