Suggested Packing List

basic packing list that we used for the Winter Research Trip… feel free to add!!!

Pete: “It will be cool almost all the time. It will likely rain every day, but it will be sunny every day too. This is a cloud forest, and you will find you are in the clouds (at elevation 10,000 ft). Your legs will always be covered except if you’re training (men and women). I suggest you bring shoes that are waterproof and water-shedding pants. Bring a rain jacket, rain shedding hat, small, folding umbrella, sunglasses. When we go for a walk, you will find that you will open and close the umbrella several times as the weather alternates between sun and rain.”
