Make sure your critical gear such as clothing, sleeping bag, etc is waterproofed. There are many options for waterproofing including drybags in many sizes, barrels, backpack with garbage bag liner, etc. Contain your gear so that if you capsize, portage, load and unload, you have less pieces to deal with.
