Gear List for BWCAW

From WildWiki

• You will be responsible for bringing everything under the heading "Personal Gear." Please remember that we will be packing all of our gear in canoes and carrying all of it over portages, so pack sparingly. Pack valuable things in zip-lock bags. If you have problems obtaining any of these items for any reason, contact UV Summer Programming, and we might be able to help you find something.
