Kit List:
Shared between each pair of tent buddies (mostly from Unit equipment if you have it):
- *Gas or fuel stove, plus fuel for 1 night (if your menu requires cooking)
- *Lightweight cooking pots (suitable to your menu), detergent, scourer, chux, small potholder or old leather glove – these should all be as small as possible. e.g. cut a scourer in 4 pieces and bring one piece, save the rest for future hikes. Decant detergent into a tiny bottle.
- *One tent per 2 people – lightweight and compact! If your Unit/family does not have access to this, please hire with your ticket.
*Share these items between back packs - e.g. one buddy carry tent and pegs, the other fly and poles
- You will need Friday night dinner and breakfast Saturday in addition to below (bring in separate, overnight bag).
- Food for 1 dinner, 1 breakfast, 2 lunch, snacks, (buddies can menu separately if they wish but then need own fuel and pots too) bring only what you need – not lots of extra packaging. Try to package up all the food into one large zip lock bag per day.
Individual Kit List:
- Wear Guide Uniform Polo and lightweight pants or leggings (no blue jeans!), sturdy shoes/hiking boots and thick socks.
- Shady wide brimmed hat.
