In this post we’ll concentrate on what to pack for personal gear, and how to pack it — including your tent. <\/p>\n
a.) If possible, stuff your sleeping bag in the one large piece of permitted luggage\/duffel bag, inside ITS OWN water-proof sack<\/u>.<\/p>\n
b.) If it does not fit, be sure to store it in its own water-proof sack<\/u>, secured against opening during transport.<\/p>\n
c.) Do the same for your ground mat and tent.<\/p>\n
d.) Be sure to identify each of the above items as belonging to you. An indelible marker with your name is probably easiest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
If you don’t have a personal tent, or cannot afford to buy or rent one, please ask a friend or relative to loan one to you.<\/p>\n
If you still cannot acquire one, don’t worry: no one has ever been left out in the cold — or ‘turned away from the inn’.<\/p>\n
(That’s part of what we mean by “no one makes pilgrimage alone”.)<\/p>\n
In any event, make sure your tent is functional<\/u>, BEFORE you come to pilgrimage. In other words, take it outside and test its functionality, by setting it up.<\/p>\n
Each pilgrim is responsible to keep dry all his own gear — especially sleeping bag, tent & ground-mat — by wrapping such gear etc. in water-proof packing throughout the pilgrimage<\/u>.<\/h3>\n
When it rains, it has been known to pour.<\/em> [And rain is already in the forecast, again.]<\/p>\n
In a post to follow shortly, we’ll take up the question of what in food reserves to bring, and how to pack them.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
