What to Pack for OutsideCon

Are you a rough and rugged camper or a bougie glamper? Doesn’t matter. Bring what you need to be comfortable for a weekend in the woods.
This is just a suggestion list. Weather in September can swing from hot to chilly, so plan for layers.

πŸ›οΈ Sleeping & Comfort

  • Blankets / pillows / sleeping bag
  • Box fan – cabins can get stuffy
  • Towels – shower + swimming

πŸ‘• Clothing & Shoes

  • Good walking/hiking shoes
  • Warm layers – at least one set of pants + hoodie/jacket. Weather is unpredictable.
  • Rain gear: poncho or umbrella – festivities are rain or shine!

🎯 Competition Gear Optional

  • Fishing Contest: Fishing poles + bait
  • Archery Contest: Bow + arrows

🧴 Personal & Camp Essentials

  • Toiletries
  • Toilet paper – just in case
