What Items Do I Need To Bring Camping?
Pack 1 provides and prepares meals for every camping trip so you do not need to worry about meals or meal prep. However, there are a few items that you should bring:
About Tents
Not every camping trip requires a tent. For example, every winter camping trip is in a cabin with heating. In addition, we occasionally visit camp sites where platform tents or cabins are available. If we are attending a camp site where a tent is required and you do not own one, Pack 1 has a few extra tents that are available to borrow. We'll even help you set it up if you ask nicely!
- A tent (unless attending a trip where shelter is provided)
- Bedding (sleeping bag, pillow, etc.)
- Something to sleep on such as an air mattress, mattress pad, etc.
- A mess kit (cup, plate & utensils)
- Bug spray
- Flashlights
- Clothing for warm days and cool nights
- Rain gear (and extra socks)
- Toiletries such as a tooth brush & tooth paste. Some sites have showers and others do not.
- (Optional) Snacks and appropriate drinks
Be Prepared For Water/Rain
Always be prepared for rain even if it is not in the forecast. That includes water proof shoes/boots and extra socks. Scouts are magnets for water whether it's rain or streams!
