After many years of doing this I offer - The first night you are in Tahoe, hydrate like a MF, eat light but good, get some sleep, hydrate thru the next day while on trail, will make your first day on trail and first night at camp sooooo much better. The anxiousness often relieves us of our awareness and attention to sleep & hydration. I like to get all ready and take a nap in the shade at kiosk while everyone airs down & whatnot.
Add some advill and good bourbon, then you have it…lol..
Funny story….we have several military guys and medical personnel in our group, looking for a bandaid several years ago there were several IFAC bags including mine, with everything but a simple bandaid, chest seal, gunshot dressing but no bandaids…. We all have kids and they use up a lot of bandaids…

Also, be sure to get your campfire permit and HAVE IT PRINTED OUT. They do not always accept a screenshot. This permit is also for cooking, so if you intend to warmp up food even over propane, you must have this.

Organizer burn out... seen it, lived it. To this day, Jiim Brantley is my hero and mentor... he started Surf and Turf, and 10 years later he ended it.
Nothing wrong with that... gives us opportunities to try other areas and stuff and what not.
One of the most fascinating event stories in the TLCA History series (I thought) was what happened to TLCA's Thanksgiving Day Run. Organizer burn out was at the heart as has been the case for many events.
Woyto... on my lists, I even add What I Forgot to those lists and I keep them for future reference... ya, I'm a list guy too.

I have a FileMaker Pro "Packing" database with lists of "Items", "Events" & "Cases" that I use to create packing lists for each event. I can go back and see previous event lists and dupe them, then add/remove items as needed. I can then group the selected items into cases (locations). I can check off items as "staged" and the "packed". I generate a PDF that shows all of that that gets updated manually and I can then go back to update the database as things get staged and packed.
Overkill... probably (certainly), but it removes the anxiety of "Did I pack that?", "Don't forget to..."

Would love to get a copy of that DB, or at least an export of the lists.
Do you have a copy of FileMaker?

That's pretty cool! I bet it makes a lot of this more streamlined for sure
It takes a lot of anxiety away. It seems every trip needs a different set of stuff. Sometimes I tow the 40 and sleep in the Yukon, sometimes I camp & cook, sometimes I camp and restaurant, sometimes I'm traveling & camping out of the Troopy, this time towing cross-country, staying in hotels along the way and then camping out of the 40 for a few days. I can't do it all on one set of stuff.
