BOTTOM LINE ON EQUIPMENT: Do Not Stress

If there is something substantial that you need (tent/sleeping bag etc) we can provide you a loaner, no problem.  

We will speak in person during the course about what you need and all questions will be answered.  Ultimately it's about your personal comfort so you pick what you want to bring, but here is a list that is a good guide to prompt your thoughts.
