We’re so glad you decided to join us! Here is your list of What to Bring... also known as our packing list, checklist and go-bag. Please don’t go spend a fortune on stuff for this outing. We like to live simply and functionally. If you are missing one or two items, please consider borrowing from a friend or ask us if we have an extra to share. Headlamps, bug spray, things like that. Unless you really, really want to have one of your own forever. Thanks for being environmentally friendly.
