General Packing List

Important Note: Saturday through Sunday, we're actually in the wilderness — everything you bring needs to fit inside your backpack or strapped to the outside. You'll have Friday night at camp to test your bag fit. (see itinerary for more details)

Clothing — highs near 80°, lows near 55°, clear skies

Hygiene

Extra Recommendations

Wilderness Bathroom Basics

Optional, but recommended

Bathrooms are available Friday, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning. The only stretch without facilities is Saturday morning through Sunday midday, once we're deep in the wilderness — real backpacking. It's simpler than people expect, and mostly just a precaution — we'll walk through it together before we head out.

If you'd like to bring your own gear, it's easy and inexpensive to put together.

Wilderness bathroom kit

Mini trowel/shovel — for digging a cat hole

Toilet paper

Istinja bottle — portable bidet

Camp soap or hand sanitizer

Only relevant Saturday morning through Sunday midday, once we're in the wilderness. Most people are surprised how easy this is once it's handled right.
