Packing

Gil’s Packing List:

You need a rain cover for your pack.

• Wear treated wicking clothes.

• Plan on washing a few things out along the way.

• Not counting what I wear - I carry,

  • 1 pair of pants,

  • 3 shirts,

  • a very light walking jacket,

  • a rain jacket,

  • gators (which is rain gear for boots),

  • underwear,

  • one pair wool socks,

  • one pair silk sock liners.

  • 2 liters water,

  • snacks,

  • blister kit

  • first aid kit,

  • maps, compass (you don't need maps or compass),

  • Ipad,

  • a very light sandal for night wear,

  • a cap/hat,

  • maybe gloves,

  • head band (it can get chilly especially if it rains and the wind blows, which is probably will).

  • You might consider a walking stick. I use one. It helps.

  • You’ll want some kind of fitted daypack big enough to hold your water, a big lunch, and gear for the day. There is a baggage transfer, so you do not need to carry everything with you all the time. (Baggage transfer luggage should be carry-on size.)

A couple more notes:

• We keep the Vox facebook page active throughout the pilgrimage - so if you want to completely disconnect, your loved ones will be able to follow you without you needing to turn on your phone. However, there are multiple places with wifi access.

• You do not need a sleeping bag.
