Tips
- Line your pack or duffle bag with a trash bag to keep your clothes dry
- No flip flops or crocs – they offer no protection for your feet
- Always pack for one season colder than it is. Layer your clothes.
Nice to have:
- Spare set of clothes for when everything is soaked/dirty (you and your kid)
- Personal camping equipment you can share with the Pack (a stove, a coffee pot, a wagon, a big bucket of twine, hammer, axe, etc.)
- An extra tarp.
