393 Field Provisions

Bring a sufficient range of personal food and beverages, but also do so as compactly as possible, as  we will have all of us AND our gear also traveling in the vans.  All food must have sealed and hygienic storage, in an animal-proof container that you keep in the vehicle.

The pop-up suggestion list is the minimum personal provisions that  you should acquire for eight days without further grocery shopping (we will NOT make special additional runs because you forgot).  Personal first-aid items have a red background, camp utility items are over yellow, and food is on the green.  EACH person should have these items; do not plan to borrow someone else's, as they will need their own.  [BACK]

PLEASE remember, we have very little storage space in the vehicles.  Except for communal gear, try to limit yourself to ONE duffle bag/pack and one daypack.  Please cap or tape any sharp frame edges that might cut or puncture others' tightly packed gear.

Please plan to share a cooler with at least one other person to help save space.  Remember, we will ALSO have to pack all our water (3 gallons/person/day), and water will have vehicle space priority over your unnecessary excess gear, including souvenirs.  And, as I said elsewhere, always start the day by drinking a liter of water, carrying three liters of drinking liquids (NO alcohol, and electrolyte restoratives such as Gatorade are good additives), and downing another liter upon return to camp.  Do not "plan" to borrow water; your "lender" will have the same bodily needs as yourself.  Dehydration on the trail was the closest we ever came to having a medical emergency on previous trips, and be assured I won't permit that to happen again.
