IMPORTANT PACKING INFORMATION
It is forecasting lows in the mid to upper 30s at night so having the following items will be very important:
Avoid cotton
Gloves
Winter Hat
Winter Jacket
Warm hiking socks (multiple pair)
Sleeping bag (my recommendation is a winter mummy bag [rating 20 or below will help] or double up on other types)
Sleeping pad (these are HUGE in helping to keep everyone warm at night...the higher the insulation number the better....4+ R-value is helpful for this weekend's weather)
Bring a folding camp chair
Water Bottle
Mess Kit (or plate, utensils and a cup)
Flashlight
Class A uniform for Ceremonies
