66 Camping Equipment You must bring your own tent and sleeping bag – tents may be shared by private arrangement among students Department has large coolers, stoves, and lamps and each van will have one of each – do not bring coolers or stoves Students should form cooking groups, and coordinate stoves, pots. pans, utensils, etc. – we need to bring enough gear to get the job done Some cooking gear has been denoted, and is in the T building – this may be used if desired

7 Excess Gear Excess gear is in the van…the more you bring, the less room there is, and the more the gear gets “metamorphosed” Samples are acquired during the trip, so more material will be brought back than you initially left with Experience on JFC should be a guide as to what is needed and what is not
