ALLERGIES & RESTRICTIONS
![Page 35: Naturalists at Large Camp Tamarancho 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062822/587b9f541a28ab81758b4767/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Equipment Reminders
Follow your equipment list.
Pack together. Adult and student can double check the contents of the gear bag.
All clothing should fit in a medium size duffle.
A day pack is essential to move about the program with water, some food, extra layers of clothing, and personal incidentals.
![Page 36: Naturalists at Large Camp Tamarancho 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062822/587b9f541a28ab81758b4767/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Rain gear is a must. (water-proof shell) Rain Ponchos are fine.
Comfortable closed toed shoes are required. Light weight hikers or tennis shoes with a few pairs of good outdoor socks (non-cotton).
A good water bottle (quart or liter).
The proper sleeping bag (check your equipment list for specifics).
![Page 37: Naturalists at Large Camp Tamarancho 2016](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062822/587b9f541a28ab81758b4767/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Plastic bag protection. A couple of grocery bags are good for packing dirty shoes or clothes along with a 30 gallon trash bag to line your gear bag and sleeping bag in case of rain.
Don’t send gear that you could not afford lost or broken (expensive cameras, cell phones, and other electronics). A handy disposable camera would be just fine.
Follow your equipment list, ask questions, borrow from friends.
