Emma's Packing List

[Emma]

Sam asked me how much stuff you all should expect to have, or more
like how much luggage :) Last year I had my Day pack as a carrie on
and then a pretty large checked bag... I plan on downsizing my checked
bag this year but heres what i have on my list to give you a
reference...


-3 Work pants
-3 work long sleeve shirts
-4 work t-shirts
-3 shorts
-5 non work shirts
-2 dresses
-1 swimsuit
-6 pairs of socks
-10 pairs undies
-4 "undertanks"/bras
-hat
-belt
-flip flops
-heel strap sandals
-hiking boots
-light fleece
-rain coat (dont really need but bringing out of habit)
-towel
-laundry bag
-small med kit for the field (you all dont need to do this)
-MALARIA DRUGS- YOU ALL MUST GET THIS... ASK AARON
-toothbrush
-I RECOMMEND BUYING SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER, SOAP, TOOTHPASTE ETC. IN
BELIZE IT SAVES ON WEIGHT AND SPACE IN BAG :)
-Field kit (trowels, notebooks, pens/pencils, gurber (swiss army
knifeish), line levels etc..... A CLIP BOARD IS A VERY GOOD IDEA!
-camel back (water bottle is fine)
-computer and charger
-camera
-books- both fun reads and Maya stuff (ps: i have some fun quick
reference books from my classes one is just Maya region and the other
is a hieroglyphic study guide if you guys are interested just let me
know down there and you can take a gander :) )
-ipod
-head lamp
-binoculars
-Daypack=my carrie on bag as well (my back pack is 50 liters which I
think is a great size for the field but also weekend trips JUST A
REFERENCE YOU DONT NEED TO GO BUY AN EXACT 50 LITER PACK! :) )

Thats it! if i update ill let you know :)

Malaria meds. Bring them. You don't even know.

So I get back from Belize last year, and about two days later I start
to feel like absolute crap. Turns out, I totally forgot to take my
Chloroquine the last two weeks I was there, which apparently is a
really, really bad idea. So yeah, three weeks later I got out of the
hospital, and that's why you should all bring (and *take*) your
Malaria meds. I was on the weekly pill last summer, but I'm gonna see
if I can get a daily instead this year. Maybe I won't forget to take
that one...

Also, I know Emma has mentioned this, but if you have laptops I highly
recommend bringing them. They are a godsend when you're working on
your papers or research projects or whatever is going to be on the
docket this summer. As far as I know there will be a couple communal
laptops for the students, or at least there were last year, but since
these belonged to the project it can be annoying near the end of the
project when everybody is trying to share them.

Is this the sort of knife we should bring? Here's the link:

[Aaron Coons]

Yes, something along those lines would work great. You can also check
out Leatherman, in my opinion they're a better quality multi-tool than
Gerber:

However, you can also just bring along a regular folding knife, as the
bigger blade and quick access can be useful in the field as well:

[Emma Nicole Koenig]

yeah that would work perfectly

If I may ask, what brand/mg size of anti-malaria drugs do most people
bring?

I have chloroquin (sp??) but there are a lot. Your doctor (its a
prescription so you'll have to go in for a visit) will just
prescribe the best one for you.

I was wondering which one of these trowels would be better for the field school:

Do we need to bring a converter for the outlets in Belize or is it the
same as outlets here since it's all North America?

[Emma Nicole Koenig]

You do not need a converter
