What to Bring

To get the most out of your adventure we highly suggest that you bring items listed below.

Mission: Communication and cooperation within the group to keep weight to 90lbs./person to the Outposts or 75 lbs./person to the Lodge. The more items shared by the group like toothpaste, shaving cream, tackle, and spare rods and reels, the lower the individual gear weight will be. But this does take planning. Groups that consistently come within the weight limit have made the pre-trip planning an integral aspect of their fishing trip.

Note for Outposts: We supply blankets and pillows. All you need to bring is 1 pillow case, and 1 set of sheets (or a sleeping bag if you prefer).
