FOR YOURSELF:
- Clothing....create LAYERS
with warm & cool clothing, western hat with stampede string or riding
helmet.
- NO BALL CAPS ON THE TRAIL (okay at night in camp)
- Long sleeved shirts, long pants, & boots are REQUIRED for the trail. Tanks and tees, shorts, and tennies or flip-flops are all okay around camp.
- Good bedroll or sleeping bag,
ground pad, extra blankets, pillow
- Tarp or tent
- Snacks for you. Hard tac and
jerky were traditional.
- Personal Toiletries:
Toothbrush & toothpaste, Soap, Shampoo, Shaving kit if desired
- Towel(s)
- Lip balm
- Sun block
- Sunglasses
- Bandana or scarf
- Bug repellent
- Gloves can be handy
- Folding or lawn chair - it's
nice to have somewhere to sit at supper time.
- Camera with flash, extra
batteries, film or memory chips
- Spare tire if you have a
rubber tired wagon, we will have air with us.
- Light for Night: Matches, lantern, extra fuel,
flashlight, batteries, whatever you have.
- Slicker, raingear - just in case

mind the stupid plastic stuff

medications, etc., that you need
- Soft Drinks
and/or Booze if you want it

FOR YOUR STOCK:
- We furnish grass or grass
alfalfa hay, so no need to bring that, except for travel to and from home.
- Bring any grain, mineralized
salt, or supplements if you feed them
- Bucket for water and grain (A
MUST!!!)
- feedbag if you use one
- Good halter and lead rope.
It's a good idea to bring a spare, too.
- Hobbles if you can use them -
not too many trees or hitching posts out here. Most horses & Mules do
well on the picket line. Electric fence or corrals are okay. No pipe
panels allowed
- Optional first aid or
emergency vet kit
- Hoof care kit:
ALL HORSES AND MULES MUST EITHER BE SHOD OR HAVE "EASY BOOTS" (or similar - we're not endorsing a brand name) FOR AT LEAST THE FRONT FEET
- Fly spray and grooming stuff, according to your preferences
