6. Consider when packing O Drinks crystals – bring your own. We will supply hot chocolate, tea and honey O Cooking your food – Make sure your stove and cooking equipment is in working order. Test it prior to the departure. Food should be prepared so that you only need to warm it or boil it. O Repackage all food to limit space taken and garbage you will have to pack out. O Stick with what you say you’re going to provide. O All your gear must be water proofed. If you expect stuff to get wet, you’ll do a better job preventing it from happening. O Remember your feet. Bring lots of wool socks to keep your feet happy O NO Cotton ALLOWED. Cotton dries slowly – if at all. Some type of poly clothing is more suitable
