NOTES |
|
|
|
|
Getting your footwear right is very important. Good, well-sized, broken-in boots with polypropylene sock liners and wool outer socks makes hiking very pleasant. Sore feet and blisters can ruin a trip and may require evacuation. |
|
|
|
|
|
Keeping you and the contents of your pack dry is another key element in having a great time on a trip. It is very common to get storms any time of the year, plus we need to cross streams. |
|
|
|
|
|
Use 1-quart zip-lock plastic bags to pack clothes in (keeps them waterproof) |
|
|
|
|
|
Use sandwich size zip-lock bags to pack loose items, matches, etc |
|
|
|
|
|
The clothing listed is designed to be worn in layers. As it gets cold or damp, more layers to go. As it warms up, more layers come off. |
|
|
|
|
|
No electronic devices are allowed on trips (No radios, No
CDs, No game players, etc) |
|
|
|
|
|
"Light weight" and "non-breakable" are good words to describe all pack items. |
|
|
|
|
|
Put name on personal items |
|
|
|
|
|
Everything, and I mean everything, that gets packed in gets packed out. Leave no trace is more than a motto. |
