- [ ] π Hiking Backpack (45β50L / 60-70L): Medium-sized is perfect for one night at the hut. Everyday backpacks will be too small, but not everyone needs a giant 60β70L pack (we may ask some people to help carry supplies down, more details later).
- [ ] π§ Water Bottle: βHydration is the key to success!β β Jake Petterson
- [ ] π Portable Charger: The hut has no outlets for guests
- [ ] π΄ Sleeping Bag: Optional β the hut has wool blankets (washed bi-weekly). Bring a sheet for a lightweight alternative.
- [ ] π Pillow: Provided at the hut, but bring your own pillowcase or an inflatable travel pillow if you wish (your clothes stuffed into a sleeping bag case is also not bad in a pinch).
- [ ] π Ear Plugs: A must for light sleepers.
- [ ] π¦ Headlamp: Not mandatory, but handy for late-night bathroom trips or dark bunk rooms.
- [ ] π§©Β Games: Feel free to bring easy to pack games like playing cards or Monopoly deal
