There are now 16 on this trip. Theron has two nice, compact cots in carry bags. I don't know that the meal stuff needs increased any but we may want to look at the bread and beer. Let me restate: We MAY want to look at the bread. I KNOW we need to look at the beer. I think we should determine ahead of time who is sleeping on the cots. They may want to bring items to make the cots more comfortable. I am willing to sleep on a cot but if one of the older guys wants to avoid a top bunk in the front cabin and take a cot, that is fine too. I really don't care either way. But there is enough whipper snappers going that I should be able to avoid a top bunk in the back cabin. That is where I draw the line. :)
The only other thing I can think of that would be nice is a couple of extra chairs. Also, shift dinners? 16 people around that cabin table is next to impossible.
Man this is going to be a good time. It will be great to have everyone up there all at once. This will be a rock picture for the ages. See you all next Friday!

Checklist
WHAT TO BRING
Fishing
Rods
Reels
Tackle Box
Net (1 per boat)
Depth Finder (1 per boat)
Minnow Bucket (1 per boat)
Worm Container (optional, Dinty Moore Beef Stew Cans work nice)
Stringer (Sometimes nice to have two per boat)
Needle Nosed Pliers, Clippers, Knife (Tether for your pliers, you know who you are)
Clothes
Couple pair of pants
Few pair of shorts
Underwear (one of the most frequently forgotten Items)
Socks (another frequently forgotten item)
A couple of towels
Two pair of shoes
Flip Flops or slippers for the Cabin
Fitted sheet for mattress (optional, and by optional, I mean Trent is the only person who does this)
Hat (At least one that has the ability to cover your ears)
Rain Suit (This is not optional and make it the last thing you put in your duffle bag)
Miscellaneous
Sunblock (In 2009 we were 10 feet from the sun for about 4 days)
Bug Spray (It better have deet or you are wasting your money)
Fillet Knife
Sunglasses (May want to consider an extra pair as well)
Clear safety glasses (great for the driver of the boat in the evenings, keeps the bugs out of your eyes)
Stick a golf or small towel in your tackle box.
Krazy glue – Great for patching up small cuts
Flashlight and batteries – The walk from one cabin to the other gets a lot longer in the dark.
Camera – Disposable or Digital – If digital, don’t forget the batteries
Any tobacco products you might use – Sweet lord, you don’t want to buy it up there.
Tips:
Line your duffel bag with a big trash bag before you put your clothes in it (It will rain on the way up or down the river) and put an extra one in there for on the way back if need be.
Wash your hands before taking your contacts out. (I found this out the hard way, not only does in burn like heck but bug spray is impossible to get off your contacts)
Bring some type of waterproof bag to keep your raingear in the boat (Also handy when you start peeling off layers)

I have 4 new (I guess you call them buterfly) chairs boxed up and ready to go. They will make a one way trip donated by the WV Fire Service (my wife). Cleared this with the camp director at the meeting. This should help a little.
ReplyDeleteLike this? Will add a nice little touch to that camp.

Picture did not come through, but you know the type I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI am picturing a regular nylon camping chair but the picture is of a cast iron chair in the shape of a butterfly.
ReplyDeleteI like the chair in the picture Ryan, now if we can get 4 of those that would be pretty sweet. we could call Trent Madam butterfly.
ReplyDeletewe will definitely need to increase bread and lunch meat and pepper jack cheese and add cereal with lots of fiber. Whats that stuff called? Barley Bales?
