Baxter Expedition Personal Gear List

Here are the things you will need for camping:

• A sleeping bag
• A mattress pad (I have an extra mattress pad which you can use.)
• A flashlight with batteries (it gets dark at night)(small enough to take hiking)

Special Clothes:

• a set of long underwear of some sort (in case it gets cold)
• long sleeve undershirts (they make the bugs less annoying. I have EMS polypro top)
• a couple pair of warm wool (or high tech) socks (for warmth and hiking)
• a bathing suit
• a towel
• jeans (for daily wear)
• shorts (for daily wear and hiking)
• a warmth layer (wool sweater or fleece top or down liner)
• warm shirts(s) (chamy or ....)
• a warm hat (I like a wool watch cap cause you can sleep in it)
• warm gloves
• A rain jacket, and perhaps, rain pants
• optional: a windbreaker
• Hiking boots (around camp, day hikes)
• Sandals or something else to wear in the water

Other things:

• Sunglasses
• Money (fees, driving stops, showers)
• A pocket knife
• any prescription drugs you might need
• something to read
• cards & games
• a camera and film
• a fork, knife and spoon (from kitchen is fine)
• a drinking cup (unbreakable, thermal) (I may have extras)
• junk food (cookies, candy, liquor, cigars, nuts, etc.)
• insect repellent
• sun screen lotion
  

For day hiking:

• a day hike bag (anything comfortable will do)
• a canteen or other water bottle
• a small first aid kit (I'll have one so you don't need one, but a small one is cheap)
• a compass (if you know how to use it)
• a map of Baxter State Park (if you want)
• (everything else should be listed above)

If you go to REI or EMS they have equipment lists for hiking and camping freely available. These lists are excellent.
