Goshen '06

[packbat]

Leaving for Goshen Scout camp tomorrow!

In my backpack (by which I mean my troop's backpack, which I've yet to return), I have now:

• Three (3) pairs of heavy-duty khaki shorts.
  
• One (1) pair of drawstring shorts (for sleeping).
  
• Four (4) cotton-polyester blend T-shirts (one Goshen, one Olde Mill District Camporee, two troop).
  
• One (1) emergency-backup 100%-cotton T-shirt (camo).
  
• Six (6) pairs of underwear ... nah, make that seven (7), that's one a day.
  
• Nine (9) pairs of socks.
  
• One (1) pair of swimtrunks.
  
• One (1) pair of rainpants, with detachable lowers.
  
• One (1) poncho.
  
• One (1) sleeping bag.
  
• One (1) foam mattress pad.
  
  
• Small notebook and pen.
  
• Bridge pack of playing cards.
  
• Glasses case.
  
• Mess kit.
  
• First-aid kit.
  
• Directions to bus dropoff point.
  
• Medication form (which basically says "No meds, I'm not allergic to any meds, thank you, have a nice day").
  
• Backup physical form.
  

Before I leave, of course, I need to add:

• Utensils. (Edit: In!)
  
• Nalgene water bottle (with water, optimally). (Edit: My Nalgene won't fit – I'll have to use a smaller one.) (Edit: Both of them in!)
  
• Crummy shoes for boating. (Edit: In!)
  
• Toothbrush/paste. (Edit: In!)
  
• Spare belt. (Edit: In!)
  
• Small flashlight. (Edit: In!)
  
• Towel(s). (Edit: In!)
  
• Soap. (Edit: In!)
  

Edit: Also added:

• Sunblock.
  
• Floss.
  
• Twine/string.
  
• Eucerin.
  
• Trail mix (Post® "Great Grains" cereal, salted almonds, and dried strawberries).
  
• Cell phone.
  
• Day pack.
  
• 5% Deet bug repellant.
  

And, of course, I have to make a bag lunch and stick it in the fridge (edit: check – needs a frozen juice pouch when I take it out) (edit: taken out.) for the bus.

Packbat ... away! (For a week!)

Check (now)!

at least one change of clothes packed in a plasic bag to ensure a dry change?

All clothes are packed in plastic – first rule of Scout camping.

Towel?

I may not be a hoopy frood, but I sure know where my towel is!

Have fun!

Thanks!
