What To Bring to Camp Bisco XI 2012


So, now that Bisco is a few days away, I am getting myself ready to go on this epic adventure. I've been camping before, but nothing like this. Camp Bisco has become so enormous that it cannot be contained. There are some essentials that you should bring with you to the campgrounds. One thing to remember! You can do this camping experience on the bear minimal, however, you can make your stay a little more comfortable by being prepared. After all, there will be plenty of folk there to give you a hand I'm sure. Get your packing list together!!

  • Towel
  • Backpack
  • Clean Clothing (water proof stuff for sure as well!)
  • Sneakers (rain/mud boots)
  • Tent
  • Sleeping Bag/Blanket/Pillow
  • Flashlight
  • Reusabel Water Bottle (I got a Nalgene, also check out Brita)
  • Hygiene Supplies (DEODORANT)
  • Money
  • Pen/Paper 
  • Balloon/Flag (something to help identify your tent)

Honestly, if you take that stuff, you could go on adventure after adventure, meeting tons of new people and really getting a feel for what's happening all around you. I feel like the more you surround yourself with stuff, you might have a comfort zone, but you'll also be tying yourself down. Now, in my opinion that's the bear minimum. I'd take a little more with me just to be safe (and not smelly).

  • Air mattress (don't forget your pump!)
  • Camping chairs
  • Tarp/canopy tent
  • string/ scissors
  • first aid kit (neosporin, bandages, peroxide)
  • trash bags
  • Food (I'd do canned and non perishables. There will be affordable food sold as well)
  • Small propane grill (camping area only)
  • Utensils
  • Camera
  • Ear plugs
  • Sun Screen/Bug Spray
  • Hat/Umbrella
  • Extra toilet paper
  • Any card games, toys (frisbee, nerf, etc)
  • Dance and glow toys (hoola hoops, gloves, poi) <- Electrik Graffiti will be vending, so if you want to pick up a pair of gloves (or anything furry!), they got you!

  • Showers
