Camping gear for Big Sur

Post by Spitfire »

Since Jews don't really camp (we prefer hotels), I don't have any camping gear. Could previous Big Sur participants let me know what to take, apart from a tent and sleeping bag, since I'm pretty clueless.

Also, can anyone lend or rent me the equipment if you're not going?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I have an extra tent you can sleep in. I'll bring it and help you set it up/down.

As for sleeping bags, they're pretty cheap. If nobody has one you can borrow, they're $10 to $15 at Big 5.

You don't need some expensive, below freezing mummy bag. It's just a couple of nights, and it doesn't get that cold where were at. Maybe bring a blanket too.

As for food, your breakfast and lunch are covered. For dinner, I'll have some hot dogs (Hebrew National) and hamburgers for anyone who's hungry Saturday night. Otherwise, bring a cooler with a dinner. There's plenty of campstoves and pots/pans to borrow. Or just cook over the fire.

Bring a flashlight (some cheap, small LCD), jacket, sweater, couple of change of clothes, snacks or trail mix for hang waiting, and your own soda (or other drink). Not to mention toiletries.

Thanks for the tent offer, I'll take you up on that. Appreciate it!

Looks like I'll be eating plenty of those kosher dogs, better spend this weekend getting in shape.

If I bring some food will a cooler last all weekend?
