Are you about to raft your way to glory down the Franklin, here is how you go about it!
What to bring:
Rescue gear:
Fully loaded rafts are not only heavy but are also even more rigid if you have a gear frame attached. Becasue of this it can be a real pain to unwrap them so its important to bring all the big water wrap kit items:
Wrap kit
Wrap kit ( atleast 3-4 pulleys and carabiners, webbing, plenty of good prussic's, saw)

A guide on how to have fun by James Barnes!
Whitewater rafting is an absolute blast. It’s a fun social activity, good exercise and a great way to get out and see some incredible areas of wilderness. With rafting being such a fun activity there’s not much that can take away from it, however bad equipment is one of those key things. To that end this article should give beginners an excellent guide to the equipment you should be bringing on an easy day trip with experienced guides.
Wearing contact lenses versus glasses on-river
For safety reasons we strongly encourage wearing contact lenses while rafting. There’s no guarantee that your glasses won’t break or fall off on river, and they can be expensive to replace! Glasses can also fog up or appear blurry when wet (which happens a lot while rafting), obscuring your view of the beautiful surroundings or oncoming danger. You can buy contact lenses from the many optometrists in the Hobart CBD and Sandy Bay. Expect to pay around $90 for 30 pairs of dailies (prices may vary depending on the brand and the condition of your eyesight). You will need to book an appointment if you do not have a current prescription.
If contact lenses are not an option, tying the handles of your glasses around the back of your head with some tape or string will usually hold them in position once your helmet is securely fastened.
