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.
