Do canoeists not bring bilge pumps out with them?

I did after a couple of years of canoeing. I never saw or heard of
anyone else in MN using one in a canoe, but I did mostly quiet waters.
I needed it mainly because I don't turn my canoe over when I camp, so
if there's a storm, I had to bail or dump it over.

Now that you mention it, can it rain hard enough to overwhelm a canoe
even if you got a pump? Are there foot pumps?
