GEAR!!

[Clueless Wonder]

Alright, let's get talking about what we all want to talk about! haha :)

 

Who's got tents?

 

Who's got other questions related to gear!?  Who has questions related to bikes and biking?  Who has questions related to food?!

 

Let's start up a supportive convo about these things! :)  Don't be shy!  I know you have questions you want to ask!  Probably other people do too!  And hopefully someone will have an answer OR we can search for some collectively! 

But for tents, please respond about whether or not you have a tent, how many people can sleep in it. . .if you have more than one and would be willing to bring both on tour (to be carried by other tour members), etc.  This is a very important logistical point.

I've copied the Phenomenal Food Tour tent sharing document and created one for your team. I've shared it with each of you, although those without gmail may need to sign up with google in order to access it. Voila.

I wrote on the google doc that Laura provided but I have a tent that I will be bringing, it's a two-man so it will fit one more person.

Hey guys and girls,

I just posted to the tent page.  My questions are mainly clothing concerns.  What are you guys bringing in terms of clothing.  1 pair of pants/shorts? 2? 10!?!?  

What kind of footwear will you be bringing?

Lemme know

Hi Jonathan,

 

Just thought I would reply to your post while I had the chance.  I have done some preliminary planning of what I want to bring on tour in terms of clothing, and can hopefully help you out.  For bottoms, I plan to bring 2 pairs of biking shorts, 1 pair of pants that will be good for biking on colder days, and then I am still deciding between 1 or 2 pairs of pants for campsite/sleeping use.  I also have a set of leg warmers, to be worn with biking shorts for warm days and cold mornings that can be easily stripped away or rolled down.  There is a great packing list on the Otesha website under clothing, at the bottom (http://otesha.ca/content/gear-list-0) that I used as my guide for planning and then the question really comes down to how much do you want to carry?  And you know your body best and what you might need to bring (ex. fleece bottoms or just shorts for sleeping in).

 

From my few years of canoe tripping experience, it is also a good idea to set aside a set of clothes (generally pants and a warm shirt) that stay water proofed in your bag until bed time, regardless of how wet you get during the day or if your "day clothes" are still wet in the morning because if they get wet then you are out of luck for the night or for warming up later.

 

Hopefully this has been helpful.
