Lily Alexander Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Aside from kit, I would say something to eat and drink out of. But even if you don't have those things, most likely someone will have extra's to loan. You have a tent, so I would bring an extra blanket. It got a little chilly last year. But if you don't have an extra, just drink more rum then you won't feel the cold anyway. If you take special meds, don't forget those and perhaps sun screen. :) I think you'll find that everyone there will be more than happy to help fill in missing pieces. You'll come across things that you'll put on your must list for next year and for other events. Happens to me every event I attend. If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin! http://www.forttaylorpyrates.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Roberts Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I've learned this year that I need better bedding. Sleeping on the ground with nothing but a blanket and myself doesn't agree with me back. Something like an air mattress or a cot of sorts helps tremendously. Of everything else everyone has mentioned is good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Alexander Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 How about a caution warning on this thread. Drinking anything while reading will make you spew onto your computer screen.

Dutchman Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 dogge is right. the stuff they make for babies bottoms is great. heck, in my more athletic days of backpacking on the A.T., i always made sure there was a pack of baby wipes in the same bag as the TP. that stuff and a bit of cream is a life saver on humid days to keep the monkey arse at bay. hmmmm hey jack, is your wee one comin? maybe between she and hamish well have a good supply of antifowlant on hand.
