Food:

You will need to bring enough food for two full days, including snacks.  You can bring freeze-dries or fresh food, whatever you choose, reccomended amount of fresh is 1.5lbs per day (3lbs for this trip).  Food will need to be properly dealt with at night to prevent accidental animal feeding situations.  Any toiletries with scent will need to be stored with your food too.  If you wish to hang your food, be sure to bring cordage appropriate for that.

The above equipment list is a guideline, if you have a system that works for you (ie. hammok setup) then go for it!  If you don't know if you need it, bring it ayway.  Keep in mind that for this event we move as a team; ensure your personal choices add to group success.  If you have equipment concerns, let us know and we will see about sourcing rentals for you.
