Kit Lists

• Always use an appropriate bag for the event and pack all items inside the bag. Some items can be strapped to the outside but nothing should be dangling lose. 

• It's a good idea to practice packing away the trickier items such as your sleeping mat or bag. 

• The lists here are a guide only and should be adjusted for the weather. A jacket you bring to a summer camp may be different to a jacket you'd bring to a winter camp for example. You can bring whatever you feel you need to the event but remember you need to be able to carry everything by yourself. If it's too heavy then you've possibly packed too much. 

• Pack items in the order you need them. Your seeping bag for example should be easier to get to than your spare clothes for travelling home in. 

• For a weekend camp as an example it's a great idea to have one complete set of clothes sealed in a plastic or proper dry bag meaning even if we get soaked through our tents (which is highly likely in Scotland) then you'll have a nice dry set of clothes to change into for travelling home. 

• For most camps and especially for expeditions it is good practice to have a personal first aid kit along with you. This should obviously include any medication but should also include some plasters, a blister plaster, some tape and some antiseptic wipes at a minimum. The group will always have  a larger group first aid kit with us but it is best practice to also bring your own. 

We'll advise which kit list to use in our communications about your event. Please check for messages from us and get in touch with your event organiser if unsure. 

For day trips the kit list may change slightly depending on the weather on the day. A good rul of thumb is to be prepared for the weather. Sun cream or wooly (or probably both).

For expeditions it is even more essential to have your kit packed correctly in a suitable rucksack. This should have a chest strap and waist strap and enough room to hold everything. Nothing should be dangling and swinging around.
