    • a pillow
  • You may bring a camping chair if you feel it is necessary.  We want you to be comfortable.  Please remember, hauling gear will take considerable effort and expense so if you can comfortably use your bucket for a chair, please do so.
EACH FAMILY NEEDS:

  • A hammer or something to drive tent stakes.
  • Extra tent stakes (the wind is brutal

EACH CART FAMILY NEEDS:
  • 2 water coolers

LEAD BUCKET:
     You will only be able to put one bucket in the cart while we go out on the trail.  This bucket will be designated with a Yellow Star and may contain your first aid kit, change of socks, scriptures, consecrated oil, diapers, medication, and anything else that you will need while out on the trail.  This bucket can be resupplied each day but should have what is necessary for the whole family.  With only 3-4 lead buckets in each cart there will be room for children or others to ride and will reduce the weight in each cart to make it easier to pull.

Lead bucket should include a small towel (for drying feet at the river crossing) and a large knife (for cutting watermelon).
