Trek is nearly here!
Here is some last-minute prep info to help you:
- Remember do not pack the clothes you are wearing on the first day of Trek. Come dressed in pioneer clothing, including your hat or bonnet, your comfy walking shoes and keep any little items you want to carry in pockets- chapstick, sunscreen, etc.
- Work gloves! Do not pack these either. They were not on the original packing list by mistake (oops) but please try to get some to make pulling and pushing the cart easier.
- Water bottle with attachment- A water bottle is a must! We will be able to carabiner our water bottles to a rope that's placed around the handcart, so bring a water bottle with a carabiner or hook if you can.
- Bring an extra pair of shoes in case one pair gets wet. You can pack them in your bag if there is no room in your bucket.
- Pack Layers- It might get really cold at night, so pack layers and remember that warm coat or jacket. You can pack it in your bag with your sleeping gear.
- Label your gear- After everything is packed, make sure you label your gear bag and bucket. Use a Sharpie directly on your bucket and bag or label with some tape.
- Don't forget your necklace! Remember the ancestor you are walking for by wearing the necklace with their name on the medallion. They will appreciate it and so will you!
- Bandana- This is not necessary but very handy.
We want you to be prepared so if you have any questions about what to bring, don't hesitate to ask in the comments!
We are getting excited!
