There is a general packing list that can be found in your Profile by going to Mobilization Info tab and then to the preparation section. In addition to those items, you should also bring:
- Rain Jacket/Boots (Can be bought locally for pretty cheap.)
- Mosquito Spray
These are already listed on the general packing list but I want to emphasize them:
- Sleeping bag and pillow (there are things called Sleeping Bag liners that are like thin sheets. These are good in case it’s cold to double up under your sleeping bag, or if it’s super hot, you can just use that instead of your sleeping bag.)
- Sweater or jacket
- Headlamp (flashlights are fine too…but headlamps are AWESOME because you get to have both hands free. Hands-free is good for going to the bathroom outside at night, reading while your teammates are sleeping, and even for dance parties!
- Water bottle (Nalgene brand is really great.)
- Outlet Adaptor (Do research and see if outlets are different than in the U.S. If anything, you may need an adaptor, not a converter. You probably only need a converter if you're bringing something high powered like a blow dryer. You can get an international adaptor at Wal-mart or Target.)
As always, if you have any questions about anything listed here, please let me know!
