General Packing List
The following is a list of items to bring camping. Think about what the particular camp-out involves, and how many days and nights you will be away, to decide exactly what you need to pack. Also consider the weather, and how warmly you need to dress. We will travel to a camp-out in Class A uniform, so have it ready to wear, rather than at the bottom of the backpack.
