Hey Everyone,
The registration for this event keeps closing. Technical glitch of some kind.
If you’re hoping to go, or even still on the fence, speak up here so I can get an idea of what to plan for.
Also, I’m new to trip leading. Ask away if you have any questions.
Thanks! Hope to see you around the campfire.
I had a great question and thought I would add my response here for everybody...
We will be on Forest Service Roads. Lots of washboard and potholes, but no major off-road obstacles.
You'll need basic camping gear - tent, sleeping bag, warm layers of clothes, plans for 3 days of food. If you're using a ground tent, bring a suitable comfort pad. I'm anticipating gravel camp sites. Cabellas has a cool cot/tent that might be a good starter setup.
I have several short hikes and explorations planned. No obligation of course, but if you would like to participate, solid shoes for hiking.
I'm planning to bring some firewood. If you have an armload, great. If not, no worries. Don't go buy those expensive bundles from the gas station - not worth it.
Shower is up to you. Some will go without, some like to freshen up. I'm still working on my shower gear so I don't have any good advice yet.
Toilet. Walmart sells a little seat that snaps onto a 5 gallon bucket. Amazon sells little privacy tents and sanitary bags. There is also the option to wander off by yourself :)
I would prefer that people don't get gonzo drunk or silly stoned around the campfire, but some responsible use should be fine. Definitely no use while driving please.
I'm still working on Comms. I have a ham radio, but I don't have my license yet. I'm planning to purchase a GMRS soon - bring that if you have one.
