As I posted earlier, a friend has gone to pascagoula, MS to volunteer. He's coming back tomorrow, but he will be returning there next week or weekend for another stint, and I will be going with him.
I'm trying to figure out what to take with me. I figure space will be at a premium so I have decided to try and make everything (except tent/chair) fit into a pelican 1610 case (24"x19"x11" outside dimensions). I figure it is: waterproof, lockable, and indestructible. Mine is also a special run from pelican and is BRIGHT yellow so hopefully I will notice it if someone tries to steal it.
Here's the list I have so far:
pelican case with lock and cable to lock it to a tree/etc
gallon ziploc bags
paper towels
cigarette lighter
tent
sleep bag
pillow
chair
shoes
socks
pants
shorts
shirts
wide brimmed hat
baseball hat
bandanna
gloves
belt
basic medical kit
toiletry items
off bug spray
sunscreen
toilet paper
towel
bathcloth
hand soap
sunglasses
small battery fan to sleep by
hds light
uk 4aa eled w/ lithium aa
a2 w/ spares carrier
L4
1 set extra batts for all lights
cell phone
dc cell charger
ac cell charger
ruger .40 semi auto
box of shells
camelbak
dominoes (the game, you know)
deck of cards
camera w/ extra film
swisstool w/ belt sheath
roll of electrical tape
drivers license
cash
visa card
amex card
no wallet, just the bare items
Food will be provided, but we may carry extra with us. Water will be provided. Showers are likely not available. Electricity is likely not available, or it will be sporadic.
We will be spending days cooking and distributing food and unloading 18 wheelers of supplies. I have no idea what will happen at night.
Wish us luck. Assuming I have the stomach and time to take photos, I will post them here assuming they are appropriate.
Maybe I'll get some good feedback from people who have operated in areas such as this.
