Grey Wolf Gear Needs
What to Pack:
Everything you pack needs to fit into one duffel bag and one backpack. You’ll be hiking all your gear over 50 feet, so pack heavy! 🙃
CLOTHES. Two main ideas: keep yourself dry, and dress in layers. Extra socks, a jacket for the night, a rain layer, etc. You’ll also want work boots or something more comfortable.
TOILETRIES. You pretty much just need Wet Wipes (for pooping) and a towel (like a shammy, just in case, LOL).
A toothbrush and toothpaste are sort of optional. Don’t bother with a razor. You probably don’t need deodorant unless it’s that prescription deodorant.
FOOD. We’ll supply breakfast/lunch and dinner on Saturday, as well as breakfast on Sunday. Beyond that, you’ll need to bring your own—food for dinner on Friday. Most just stop and pick up a sandwich as they come through Amelia. Bring some snacks if you’re a snacker.
INDIVIDUAL CAMPING GEAR. Make sure you get ahold of all of this stuff:
• A headlamp (a cheap one from Home Depot is fine)
• A folding camp chair for the campfire
• A sleeping bag (a basic one will work; it’s only two nights)
• A pad to go under your sleeping bag. If you want glamping luxury buy the self-inflatable blow-up bed. It’s
what most of us use.
• A cup for coffee/soda/water/beer/whiskey. Please bring your own beer or brown sauce if you want.
• Earplugs (normally these would be optional, but you’ll be surrounded by over 20+ mighty snoring machines)
• Work gloves
OPTIONAL CAMPING GEAR. Bring this if you have it.
• Sunglasses
• Swimsuit. There is a lake with a dock to swim in.
• Fishing gear
• Pain reliever
• Allergy meds
• Sunscreen
• Whiskey (is whiskey really optional)
• Multi-tool
WHAT NOT TO BRING:
• Don’t bring a gun. We’ll have too many guys, and it’s completely unnecessary for this event.
• Don’t bring power tools. They’re too heavy and bulky anyway.
Camping 101
How to make the most of your camping experience.
• Moisture is the enemy of comfort. Keep that in mind as you make choices. There are no dryers. What gets wet
stays wet.
• Wear good water-resistant or waterproof shoes if it’s calling for rain.
• If it is going to rain or snow, Cotton is the enemy. Denim is only slightly better. Wear synthetic items if possible.
• Do not place your tents super close to the fire. Sparks can reach them, but heat cannot. Sparks can ruin a
tent quickly.
• Always stake the tent down (even if it isn’t windy).
• Always put on the rain fly securely (even if it doesn’t look like rain).
• Always keep the doors zipped shut unless you are actively accessing the tent. You don’t want to sleep with all
sorts of critters and bugs.
• Locate your headlamp and have it with you before dark.
• Make sure that anything you bring (clothes, gear, etc.) is as versatile and multi-functional as possible. It is
much better to bring 5 things than to bring 25 things.
• Don’t put food inside your tent unless you want a nighttime visitor with paws. Most tents have a “vestibule,”
which is a spot covered by the rainfly outside of the sleeping area where you can store items.
• Put all trash into a trash bag immediately. Things will blow around and get scattered very quickly.
• If you go to bed first, put in your earplugs. Tents do not block sound. The rest of your group should not be
expected to get super quiet since you chose to call it a night.
Remember it is only two nights. There is a small store close by if something is needed. Most of us will have anything you might not have.
If you need a tent, sleeping bag, or fold-up chair, please let us know.
