Yes I'm afraid I will still be going out alone! The usual advice is the old Chestnut "less than 3 there shall never be!", but note that the same people that give you this advice were very happy to support Pete Bray's solo Atlantic kayak crossing, so it has to be seen that it's a guideline rather than a rule set in stone. Things like split paddles are a bit of a no-brainer, because unlike walking gear the excess weight and bulk isn't really an issue. I'd always take splits and a paddle float if I was out on my own (if you know anyone going to Canada you can get MEC's paddle floats for half of what the equivalent costs here, or make up your own). I always take a tow line, but if you're on your own then it's of rather less use than a float!
