OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

The outfitters will supply the following items, but you may bring your own if you wish:

□ Sleeping bag
□ Sleeping Pad
□ Mess Kit
□ Pack with pack liner

Hopefully, you will be able to fit all of these items into a single duffle/airline bag. Bags should be less than 50 lbs. You can do it! We will usually avoid carry-on bags to ensure we pass smoothly through security.

If you plan on Fishing, you can bring your own rod. We will supply a few rods for the group. A multi-piece backpacking rod is perfect. The following items may want to be included for those interested in fishing. All of these items can be purchased at the Outfitter before the trip:

□ Rod and Reel with 8-12 pound test line
□ pocket size tackle box
□ Lures such as spoons, rapalas, spinners, jigs, wire leaders, hooks, sinkers, stringer

Should you have any questions about these items or if other items are appropriate for camp, please call Adventure Links at (800) 877-0954. Please note Adventure Links will not be responsible for lost, stolen or damaged goods.
