We’ve also included some tips we find helpful when packing: • Remember, it helps to keep belongings bagged in either dry bags or ditty bags, for both convenience and to keep a clean camp in the rare case a quick evacuation is needed. • Compression sacks or other stuff sacks work well when lined with garbage bags to resist water. • Dry bags work best when not overstuffed. • Ziploc bags work well for smaller items. • Though kayaks are larger than backpacks, remember they still have a limited amount of space, so be contentious when you pack. • Also it is easier to pack many smaller items then one large item. Your sleeping bag and pad should be the largest items you bring. • Remember to avoid cotton clothing and opt instead for clothing you can layer and is breathable. • Keeping scented toiletries in one ditty bag makes for easy transfer to the bear box for safe keeping. • If you need a sleeping bag or pad, please advise us ahead of time. |
