- Work gloves (for trail work)
- Journal (we will Journal each day)

- High energy food like trail mixes, power bars, fruit, dried fruit and nuts
- Waterproof matches and a fire starter
- A compass, flashlight (check batteries ), whistle (in case you get lost), first aid kit
- Sunglasses, sunscreen and lip balm
- Bandana
- Duct Tape
- Pruning Clippers (if you have something that will cut a "green 1 inch in diameter branch")
- Camera
- Prepare to lead a short team building exercise (each member of the group will take turns leading)
- An item of blaze-orange clothing (visible from all directions). For instance, an orange cap or an orange jacket encircle the wearer in color. Inexpensive, orange, vinyl vests are easy to come by in outdoors shops or department stores.
