PERSONAL EQUIPMENT LIST

The following lists represent the basic type and amount of items you need to bring. Depending on the area and time of year, additional items may be required as a general guideline; your clothing should be made of synthetic materials or wool to retain their warmth when wet. Most synthetics like polartec fleece and polypropylene also have the advantage of quick drying. Avoid cotton items as they lack warmth and take a long time to dry.

• 2 pair quick dry shorts (nylon)

• 1 bathing suit

• 2 polypro shirts - not cotton

• 1 pair of long fleece or synthetic pants – not cotton
