Re: My packing list. Am I missing anything?
We brought Vitalyte in lemon and fruit punch flavors and all 3 of us found the fruit punch lacking. The lemon was quite good though.
We mixed it right in our camelbacks and there hasn't been any flavor residue. From what I understand the newer camelbacks are less susceptible to this than older models.

Savannah: I don't know what it is, but no thread here escapes alive. You'll get 1 or 2 real answers at minimum, occasionally 10 or 12, and then we flog it until it's unrecognizable and you can't get your deposit back.

AntiM, correct me if I'm wrong, but almost everything you own doubles as nifty nipple clamps!

Bodyglide is awesome at preventing chaffing! I have the same rubbing issues and it has never failed me.

If I do that with all the meds I am bringing I won't sleep until 2014. ADD meds are a bitch to sleep on. But yeah they will all be in their bottles. But I am brining more then a 10 day supply.

Re: My packing list. Am I missing anything?
Also another question. I have been thinking about shade. I am not sure what kinda tent I am bringing. It is packed up at my moms and is here. She has not idea what kinds she has. So yeah any ways. I was thinking about a monkey hut as they are kinda tall. But again I am coming on amtrak. How would I get the damn thing out there? 10 foot poles? Fedex says it is to long. So what are some options for shade with someone is limited on space (amtrack).

Re: My packing list. Am I missing anything?
Bring your meds in original bottles and any paper proof to go with them. Bring two weeks+ supply, just in case.
Shade, some camps have group shade areas for tents or get with camp mates and ask about tying a tarp from vehicle to vehicle or maybe camp infrastucture.
BDCamp Village probably has something that'll work.

mel had a tiny tent with a tarp more or less draped over it in'11. depends on if you want to stay in your tent in the daytime. BDC has excellent shade structure.

I've heard that camelbaks hold onto flavors way too well, and don't release them, hence everyone urging you to keep it for water. (I don't use one.) I make electrolyte mixes using my 12 oz or my 32 oz stainless canteens, or my camping cup. You wanna have your cup on you, anyway. It's hard for a bartender to pour a cocktail into your camelbak . . .
Gees Im going to be carrying alot of stuff lol. I have a playa mug, still looking into getting a camelback, and then a electo bottle. Maybe I should just stick to a single bottle (camlebak) with the electro mix and my mug.
I have that spare camelbak for you... no powders please. I can add a spare water bottle which will clip right onto it which can have the electros in it. You can overdo the electrolytes, which is why you need plain water also. No worries, we are uber-reliable, we just need our bak back when we go to pack out.
For that matter, we can bring you a chair too. We have extras of nearly everything, that's what we do.

A BIG travel mug. When you go to Center Camp to buy coffee we fill up your cup or give you a paper one. (Get more for your money and save a tree). Win, win.

Portable radio so you can keep in touch with events. (Bring some extra beer to drop off at the radio station and the Post Office). Oh, post cards and stamps. They don't sell stamps.

What ever you forget, you'll be able to pick up at 'Bob's free garage sale' near Center Camp. Plus you can donate all the crap you shouldn't have brought. The item that's most wanted is a ceramic coffee mug. He only brings 400 of them to give away.

There may not be a post office this year. Not even to do with the ticket thing, they were having problems last year with transportation adn other issues.

Oh.. first year over-thinking/planning. Brings back such memories.
The best part is when the first year third camelback and backpack portable shade structures get replaced with second year bowling pins and midgets.
