  1. Tent and Mallet<\/strong> – A sturdy tent is a must, and a mallet will help you stake it down securely, especially if the ground is hard or windy.<\/li>\n
  2. Warm Layers<\/strong> – Nights can get chilly quickly, so bring hoodies, wool socks, and thermals. Cloaks and woolen items are great when the temperature drops. Waterproof boots can be a lifesaver if it starts to rain!<\/li>\n
  3. Lighting<\/strong> –\u00a0Bring a flashlight or headlamp for walking around at night. Most areas are lit by firelight, so having your own light source is critical for safety.<\/li>\n
  4. Portable Battery <\/strong>– While there\u2019s a charging station at the Watch Point, having a portable or solar battery (Amazon has great options!) will ensure your devices stay powered when you need them most.<\/li>\n
  5. Cooler for Food and Drinks <\/strong>– If you prefer not to rely solely on vendors, pack a cooler with your favorite snacks and meals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Most people use Sunday as a pack-up day, although some choose to stay onsite until Monday. The key principle during both setup and tear down is to always leave the site cleaner than you found it<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
