all of the above, pay attention to fire restriction status, and bring tarps..... and a raffle donation, cash for the raffle and some prime rib.

The following are only suggestions. Not everyone brings a chainsaw. Gloves Bring fuel (depending on your estimated usage or just fill up before you hit the trail) Food Money for raffle Tarps are good Run a bikini top and bring a small tarp for a quick soft top if rain Camp showers or sun shower bag Drinking water Lantern Mosquito repellent Clothes (it gets warm in day and cold at night usually, but also might rain or even snow. Check weather just before trip. Dress in layers) Chair Tent First Aid Kit Chainsaw (optional. There are always a few their) Camp stove or grill Vodka Sun screen Raffle donations Trail Snacks-doughnuts Toothbrush More bug repellent Porta potty or PETT type portable toilet are required Ice (may want to look into dry-ice). Dry ice is the ticket if you don't have an ARB fridge. A layer of dry ice with frozen water bottles on top to insulate your food works. Wrap dry Ice in Paper and put at bottom. Don’t use to much or it will freeze your entire Ice Chest. Bring a small Ice Chest that is readily accessible for drinks, sandwich stuff Plan your meals loosely, and freeze some of it. A spill kit Shovel Always bring warm clothes, rain gear; shorts (Pack your clothes up off the floor. You WILL get water in your cab at some point. Make sure your sleeping bag is up there too) Make up meals, zip lock or seal-a-meal them and freeze them. Adds to the cooling ability. Zip lock bags of ice. - I had a cooler open in the bowl -- ice everywhere. Action packers are a nice way to store everything, and it keeps the stuff dry. Cash for raffle tickets. At least $100. Maybe two. Toilet kits are required for all Rubithon participants. First off, think Safety! I want everyone, their equipment and our environment to be safe. No accidents, injuries, spills, etc. Safety first. Do not under estimate the mosquitoes! Also, bone up on West Nile virus... that info alone will prompt bug juice. At least one set of warm/rain gear... even if forecasting 100 degree weather. However, daily attire will probably be t-shirts and shorts. We are going to try for an ice run again (did not need last year) so if entering early, be sure to sign up for a bag of ice when checking in. This will probably happen on Friday in support of the Marauders. Be sure to bring your drivers license and ensure your truck is registered or green stickered. You will not even get through Tech without those. Bring a hat. Sunscreen and aspirin, Pepto Bismo and Tums. Sometimes going from sea level to elevation, doing physical exercise, heat, laughter, can give you a head ache. Baby wipes are handy for... well, you will figure that out. Bring some cash. Cash is king. Spare parts, ice, a cold beer, raffle tix. Bring a positive attitude. As long as you have that, nothing else really matters because everything works out great with a positive attitude. If you only take one thing from this post, Safety and a positive attitude. Plastic trash bags are a good thing for containing spills. BEER. Canned is best- avoid glass if you can. I love bottled beer though. Non- alcoholic drinks. I bring powdered crystal light or powdered Gatorade and a few gallons of fresh water A few good sized tarps Pack your stuff in waterproof containers. Biodegradable/ eco friendly soaps, a scrubbing sponge, towels We premix and make most of our food. Use eggbeaters for breakfast. Easy clean up. Bring Advil to shake off the hangovers Last edited by petescoffee; 04-08-08 at 11:42 AM. |

Thanks really gives us a handle on what to bring, One thing what kind of VODKA ? I am sure some brands mix better with Gatorade than others. Looking forward to this run and meeting everyone.

Bring the kind the mosquitoes don't like. Apply it liberally. Share with your friends.
And no, those aren't birds landing on your arm. TJK __________________ Todd J. Kaderabek TLCA # 9280, Fairview, NC |

I'm gonna say it now so you get plenty of warning,
Bring your own utensils to the Sat night dinner. Thats right, grab whatever you been using at camp cause they provide plenty of food and plates but it is flat crappy eatin with cardboard spoons and your hands. Once again, cause there are always a few, Bring your own utensils to the Sat. night dinner. __________________ John on the hawgs

Oh yeah, when you get your registration packet at the springs there will be a little white envelope inside, pay close attention, read and inspect all contents carefully, each item is of value, all the shwag is loose in the bag but that white envelope holds the key.
