  • First Aid -- Covering boo-boos (with a focus on footcare) and traumatic injury.
  • Tools -- A full-size multitool, bit kit for same, duct tape, along with any tools needed for the purpose of the expedition.
  • Appropriate clothing and footwear, with clean socks to wear every day
  • Food, stove and fuel (assuming that the no fires rule doesn't apply to stoves)
  • A whole lot of water
  • Tent, mat, sleeping bag
  • Flashlights and batteries
  • Something to read before bedtime
