🔥 KEEP THIS IN MIND

✔ These items are not required
✔ We provide all cooking equipment
✔ This is about your personal comfort + safety

Think of this as your edge.

🧭 STEP-BY-STEP: HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR GEAR

Step 1: Start with the basics (light, safety, hydration)
Step 2: Add comfort items (sleep, sitting, warmth)
Step 3: Add extras if you want (photos, exploring, etc.)
Step 4: Keep it simple… don’t overload yourself

💡 MUST-HAVE COMFORT & SAFETY GEAR

These are the top items we strongly recommend:

✔ Headlamp or flashlight
Hands-free light is a game changer at night

✔ Reusable water bottle or hydration pack
Stay hydrated all day

✔ Sunscreen & sunglasses
Montana sun hits hard, even when it’s cool

✔ Personal first aid kit (small)
Blisters, cuts, headaches… be ready

✔ Day pack (small backpack)
Carry your daily essentials easily

🔥 FIRE & COOKING SAFETY (SMART ADD-ONS)

You’ll be around hot coals and cast iron.

These help:

✔ Heat-resistant gloves
✔ Bandana or face cover (smoke + dust)
✔ Extra pair of work gloves

🐻 BACKCOUNTRY SAFETY GEAR

If you plan to explore:

✔ Bear spray (highly recommended)
Required for hiking and horseback riding
(Available for purchase onsite)

✔ Whistle (for safety signaling)
✔ Small multi-tool or knife

🏕️ COMFORT GEAR (THIS MAKES A DIFFERENCE)

These are the little things people wish they brought:

✔ Camp chair (for relaxing after long days)
✔ Extra blanket or throw
✔ Travel pillow
✔ Portable phone charger (no outlets outdoors)

📸 OPTIONAL BUT FUN

✔ Camera or GoPro
✔ Binoculars (wildlife viewing)
✔ Notebook or journal

You’re going to want to remember this experience.

⚠️ REAL TALK

You don’t need to show up like a professional outfitter.

But…

✔ Being prepared = less stress
✔ Being comfortable = better focus
✔ Being safe = better experience

Simple choices make a big difference out here.

❌ WHAT YOU DON’T NEED

Skip the extra stuff:

🚫 Full kitchen gear (we provide it)
🚫 Heavy, bulky equipment
🚫 Anything you won’t actually use

Keep it light. Keep it practical.

💬 PRO TIP

If you’re debating bringing something…

Ask yourself:
“Will this make my day easier or safer?”

If yes… bring it.
