Sure, if you\'re doing that a lot - then gear up for it. Here we\'re talking about a few days back-packing and a few very minor stream crossings.
A walking-stick, cheap-o mono-pod is a good idea!

What difference does it make if it is a few days or a lot. One slip and your gear could be toast. Very least put all the equipment into sealable freezer bags...maybe even double bag it. Some streams have very slippery algae on the rocks...even the mocho Bifurcator could easily slip in these conditions.
You realize you could say the exact same thing about standing in your livingroom or carrying your camera on a stair case right? So what\'s next, protective impact enclosures for everything - including ourselves?
I guess he\'s going on mid to light trek in Arizona and not navigating the rapids or something... No?
