Stuff to Pack

• Your important medications: your daily / regular meds, PrEP, DoxyPEP, allergy pills, melatonin, 5-HTP, etc.
• Tent
• Backup Rain Tarp [optional]
  • Should be slightly larger (on each side) than your tent’s footprint
  • To be placed over your tent during rain, if needed
• Backup Floor Tarp [optional]
  • NOTE: ensure tarps placed under a tent are the same footprint as your tent. Extending the tarp wider than your tent will cause water to collect, and run under your tent, if it rains.

DO NOT PACK LOOSE ITEMS – transport your items in larger containers / bags. Loose items can be very cumbersome to transport to your campsite. Containers / bags also provide protection, in the event of inclement weather.

• Duct tape [optional]
• Camp & tent decorations [optional] (decorations are cute, but always pack-out what you pack-in & leave no trace)
• Small booklet and pen (to write down important information like contact details for people you meet, journaling important thoughts, taking various notes, etc)
• Sleeping
  • Sleeping bag / blankets
  • Pillow(s)

TIP! – does the thought of putting together looks make you anxious? Worried about over-packing or under-packing? Then do it all ahead of time! While you’re packing, create a look for each day. Grab it all: tops, bottoms, accessories, shoes, you name it! Put the entire look together: head to toe. Once you’re done, place it all (clothing & accessories) into an individual bag. One bag, one look. Viola! Each day has a stunning pre-planned look!
