Having the correct gear for trip is essential in having an enjoyable time in camp. Please carefully read through the following list of suggested gear to ensure that you come prepared.
We provide nice cots and foam mattress pads for sleeping on in our canvas tents.
It is warm in the summer and fall pack-in trips, but at night it can cool down enough that you may want a jacket or coat.
You may want to include a towel as we have a shower tent hooked up and available.
We have a generator that powers some light around camp until we turn in for the night.
When the generator is running, we have a plug-in available in the tents. There is no cell service from camp, but on occasion while atop the highest mountains we get some limited cell service.
You may have some personal snack items unique to your tastes, but we do provide snack foods with your sack lunches.
For hiking the trails around camp.
If you would like to fish on your trip. Licenses can be purchased here.
If you’d like to take a swim in Lake Alice.
We suggest bringing one that is rated for 0°F during the archery season and -20°F for rifle season.
There have been years when we wake up to snow on the ground, so a warm sleeping bag is a must for a comfortable trip. We have stoves for the tents during the rifle hunts.
We also provide nice cots and foam mattress pads for sleeping on in our canvas tents.
Layering up is the best way to enjoy your trip and stay warm. We highly recommend good wool socks, good base layers or similar high-tech fabrics. We’ve found that wool dries out better next to wood stoves without damaging the fabric as easily. Overall, wool is great stuff!
Bring good water-resistant gear that will hold up to the rigors of hiking or riding a horse through the trees and brush. Avoid fabrics that tear or snag easily. Remember, you can always take it off if you don’t need it, but you can’t put it on if you don’t have it.
We recommend you bring waterproof boots with good traction and stiff soles with good ankle supports. If possible, bring a couple options in this area. Sometimes it’s nice to put on a dry pair of boots to start the day off while the other pair is drying by a fire. We’ve found it good to have a boot that will handle the normal fall temps and the other one for snow and colder temps. In both cases they should be boots with good foot support that you can hike in comfortably.
Gloves are critical to your comfort. It’s good to have several pairs accessible depending on weather conditions: leather, leather lined, waterproof and insulated, wool, etc. It always seems like it’s cold, sometimes dry and sometimes wet, so it is nice to know you have more than one pair to meet the elements of the day. We strongly suggest storing your gloves in a plastic 1 gallon slider-top bag to keep them dry when not in use.
To wear after hours, or comfortable shoes that are easy to slip on and off.
You may want to include a towel as we have a shower tent hooked up and available.
