canoe/camping + electronic music weekend - July 20th, 21st, 22nd 2012

Here's a list of what to bring and not to bring. Remember this is a canoe trip not a car camping trip and often less is more so please consider carefully what your bringing over and above this list and remember its three people and their gear per canoe so space is tight.

THINGS YOU NEED TO BRING
	- minimum 8 liters of water
	- all drinks (including coffee and stove to heat it, should you so desire)
	- warm clothing (be prepared)
	- bathing suit
	- towel
	- rain gear
	- camping gear (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad etc...)
	- flashlight
	- bug spray
	- sun tan lotion
	- cup, plate, eating utensils
	- pillow case to stuff clothing into at night to make a pillow

** if you need meat, bring it and the cooking equipment to prepare it (all meals are vegetarian).

PROPER USAGE OF BIODEGADABLE PRODUCTS

DO NOT USE BIODEGADABLE PRODUCTS IN THE WATER (ONLY ON LAND). Most Biodegradable soaps lead you to believe that you can put their products straight into the river. This is NOT true! Biodegradable soaps and hygiene products are safe for the environment but only if dumped on land so they have the short time needed to biodegrade before entering the water where fish and other life forms live and breathe. With 175 people in this one small place it is very important to use these products safely, which means keeping them out of the water.

PLEASE LET'S ALL REMIND EACH OTHER OF THIS IF NEED BE, ESPECIALLY AS OUR CAMPSITE IS A VERY RARE AND IMPORTANT SPAWNING GROUND FOR MANY FISH, INCLUDING THE RARE GAR PIKE

** WHEN PACKING, REMEMBER THIS IS A CAMPING TRIP. BE PREPARED, BUT NOT OVER PREPARED. PACK AS LIGHT AS POSIBLE **
