Checklist for Trip from Master Dave

For Team 4 members or any first timers, this is a partial pack list.

1. Open Mind - may be the most important item you can pack.

2. Inflatable mattress - not one of those thin things, but a full grown one (maybe an extra one for Tom).

3. Rain gear - if nothing else this will insure that it won't rain.

4. Hat - if it isn't raining it will be sunning, and probably hot.

5. Sun screen - don't plant the seed for skin cancer.

6. T-shirts and sweat shirts - it could be hot or cold, so be prepared to layer and unlayer.

7. Long pants - inside or outside your legs are going to be exposed to sun and/or bugs, probably both.

8. Insect repellant - vitamin B complex works well for some people, but don't rely on it. Alabama bugs are black belts.

9. Handiwipes - they could be your only shower the whole trip.

10. Medications - if you are taking something now, take it with you, it might not be available there.

11. Energy bars/drinks - make sure you like them because you might be consuming a lot of them.

12. Flexibility - things can and will change on the fly - go with it.

13. Ear plugs - I don't snore, but Sparky does.

14. Sunglasses - hides the bags under your eyes from lack of sleep.

15. Motrin - no explanation should be necessary.

16. Flipflops - if you get a chance for a shower at the high school you'll need these or stilts.

17. Soap & towel - you'd be surprised at how many people forgot these. Right Tom?

18. Work gloves - you could be putting your hands into some nasty stuff.

19. Boots - nails in boards love tennis shoes.

20. Sense of adventure - this will be one of your legacy pages.

21. Uniform and belt - you'll be performing at one of the schools.

22. Sleeping bag - it could be cold at night. If it's hot lay on top of it.

23. Deodorant - Please!!

24. Plastic bags - for dirty clothes and to keep your clean gear in so cockroaches don't come home with you.

25. Camera - you'll see some things that just need to be recorded.
