In this post we’ll concentrate on what to pack for personal gear, and how to pack it — including your tent. <\/p>\n

Try packing your personal gear — tent, sleeping bag & ground mat — this way:<\/h3>\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.<\/b><\/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> [Check the forecast.]<\/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
