For UTV drivers, pack all personal items into the provided 80L+ waterproof duffel bag, which will be loaded into your UTV.

Your luggage and any items you don’t wish to bring on the trail with you (IE: clean clothes for flights home), can be securely stored at staging and will be waiting for you at the end of the trip. 

Everyone always brings too much, trust us. If you pack what is on this list it will be enough to withstand Wilderness mayhem.
