  5. Wear/Bring • Wear • swimming suit • RED TROOP 700 t–shirt (Yes, no uniform shirt) • “wet shoes” that will stay on your feet and protect toes (water shoes, or sneakers; no flip flops) • hat with brim • sunglasses with a tie-on • bandanna to tie (wet) around your neck to keep cool • Bring • Bag lunch plus snacks—eat breakfast before you show up. • Maybe $15 spending money to buy a t-shirt—give this to the “Banker”

  6. Boat Pack • string or rope to tie everything to boat • sunscreen • full canteen • bug repellant • rain gear (a rainsuit is best; NO ponchos) • long sleeve shirt (or sweat shirt or a light jacket) in a plastic bag • pocket knife • some snack candy to share (something that won’t melt) • your lunch (how will you keep this dry?) • do you need (dry) toilet paper? • What will you put all this stuff in?

  7. Optional • Paddle (put your name on it) • PFD (put your name on it) with whistle • tacklebox/fishing pole (you’ll also need a fishing license if you are 16 or over) • camera (put your name on it)—only the kind that will work in the wet • boat sponge or boat bailer • water “toys”

  8. Duffle bag – with garbage bag inside to keep your stuff dry • Clothing: Do NOT bring a lot of stuff! Keep it simple. Bring a couple t–shirts; a couple shorts, belt?, underwear?, towel. Flashlight. Sleeping pad. Closeline string. • Other: Bowl, cup, spoon. Toothbrush/paste. Biodegradable soap. Personal first aid kit. • Bedding: 1–2 blankets or a lightweight bad (do NOT bring a heavy bag; you don’t need it). Pack this so that—no matter what!—it will stay dry for 8 days. Really; be sure. • Small folding chair. Do NOT bring anything electronic, or anything someone will want to steal. • Bring “dry shoes” other than those you’ll wear in the canoe (Yes, you must have two pairs of shoes). Dry socks.
