Leave At Home THE SNOW IS A THIEF Every winter Snow Base campers lose some of their gear in the snow, dropped and misplaced items are much harder to locate in deep snow. Please leave the following items at home: • • • •

Electronics, including cell phones and IPods Cotton trail clothing Scout handbook Pop/Soda

• • •

School letter or pull over type jackets Pets Gloves (leave in car), mittens are provided.

Personal Gear Snow Base participants are welcome to bring their own winter camping gear. The staff will be happy to evaluate it. Campers are encouraged to check-out back-up equipment in the event their personal equipment does not function as expected on trail. Personal gear not deemed adequate for Snow Base treks will be left behind.

Snow Base Packing Information & List CONTAINS CRITICAL INFORMATION PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Packing your Backpack—Spearhead Spearhead campers will be spending their first night indoors. Some campers prefer to bring a separate backpack or duffel bag for that night. This allows them to keep indoor items separate from trail items. If not bringing a separate backpack or duffel bag, campers should pack items they will need for the first night on the top of their backpack. In the morning many crews want to get on the trail as soon as possible, packing your pack smartly will reduce the amount of repacking that you will need to do in the morning. A limited amount of internal frame packs are available for check-out. They are used for the trail only.

Gear / Packing Questions Campers who have questions about what gear is needed should contact their Scoutmaster or Snow Base Winter Camp. Mark McCabe Snow Base Director 651-254-9138 [email protected] Weather Conditions Update: 651-254-9134 Winter Camp Phone: 715-491-5763

To The Campers and Parents of Snow Base Winter camping is a very different type of experience and requires careful attention to the type of gear used on the trail. Bringing the wrong type of gear can be not only uncomfortable but also dangerous. We have assembled this gear packing list to help to bring the right gear so you can enjoy your experience at Snow Base without having to worry about how cold it gets.

Gear Check-Out Snow Base offers gear checkout as noted in this booklet. The gear available for check-out at Snow Base has been tested and works well on our treks. We encourage all participants to check-out all available gear from Snow Base. Participants are allowed to use their personal gear, please see the back of the booklet for more information regarding personal gear.
