These checklists are provided as a starting point for you to know what to bring on a canyoneering adventure. Obviously these checklists are not all-inclusive. You will need to modify them to meet your needs. I would suggest that you print these checklists out and cross off each item as you pack it. It's really annoying to get to the top of a canyon and realize you left your harness at home on the kitchen table.
