What to take lists

hunting trips

Weight Limit: 50 lbs

This list is for guidance only. Temperatures will probably range from 20° to 50°F, but you should be prepared for -20° to +70°F. Layers of lightweight clothing, which can be added or taken off depending on your comfort level, are preferred over heavy weight coats. Pack all of your belongings in a stout duffle or side zipper bag marked with your name and address. Plastic freezer bags are handy pack articles and keep them clean and dry. We provide cots and foam pads. We can also provide helmets if requested for riding.

Please let us know if you have any allergies or dietary preferences.
