  • 1.5 gallons of water per person per day
  • A reusable water bottle
  • Food & beverages
  • An extensive first-aid kit
  • Sunscreen/sunblock & sunglasses
  • Warm clothing
  • Particle/dust mask
  • Goggles to protect eyes during dust storms
  • Rope or tie-down straps
  • Garbage and recycling bags, and tools to clean up your camp
  • Duct tape—you’ll find a need for it, guaranteed.
  • Flashlights and spare batteries (headlamps are useful)
  • Lights for your bike and your person for safe nighttime travel
  • A good camp tent or other shelter and warm sleeping bags and bedding.
  • Portable ashtrays if you smoke (e.g. mint tin that closes securely)
  • Prescriptions, contact lens supplies (disposables work great), and anything else you need to maintain your health in a remote area with no services
  • Fire extinguishers to protect your camp and property, and if you plan to burn your art
  • Common sense, an open mind, a sense of humor and a positive attitude”
