 Clothing

 Think about the time of year you are going camping.

What’s the weather going to be?  What if you have bad weather?

 ____ Rain Gear -Waterproof Jacket & Pants

____ Moisture wicking Long Johns tops & bottoms

____ Fleece Jacket or Wool Sweater

____ Quick Drying Pants & Shorts

____ Moisture wicking Liner Sock

____ Hiking Boots Or Shoes w/ Extra Laces

____ Water Shoes if going to be in water

____ Camp Shoes (NO Open Toed Shoes)

____ Walking Pole

 Notes: We have found Polyesters are great for water wicking and fast drying especially in warm/hot summer days.

 Don’t Skimp on Rain Gear.  If you have the right stuff you’ll have more freedom and fun in the rain.

 Jeans are not a good camping item.  They hold moisture and very slow drying.  In colder climates people have died from Hypothermia from wearing jeans.

 Flip-Flops are not a good camp shoe. They have a high rate of stumble and toe injuries.
