Notes:
- Water purification can be chemical tablets or a filter device like the Sawyer Squeeze, LifeStraw, or a pump. Everyone should have a method to purify in the event they get separated from the group and need clean water. Chemical tablets are small, and can easily be added to a first aid kit.
- Check the expiration dates on the things in your first aid kit, water purification tablets, sun block, bug repellent, and food. Replace if needed.
- Check that your headlamps work. Yes, you need 2 means of light, have you tried changing batteries in the dark?
- Rain jacket and pants can double as your long sleeve shirt/pants. If above tree line and windy, you will want this.
