Notes

Notes: Safety matches are useless if the striking surface gets wet or worn.
Extra Zip-lock bags help keep all the stuff separated and they weigh almost nothing. They can be used to keep the trash and toilet paper sealed up when we pack out.
A bandana is light, it shades your neck when tucked under your hat and is refreshingly cool when wet and tied around your neck.
A hiking stick helps on uneven terrain and stream crossings.
Your personal first aid kit should include moleskin for your feet, antiseptic and bandages for minor cuts and scrapes, insect sting relief, anti-diarrhea medication, and your preferred choice in the headache category.
The leaders will have a group first aid kit but the leaders are not allowed to dispense medications.
