You’ll need to bring the following gear. Items designated with * are available for rent (see below). Remember a Personal Virtual Outfitting Session is included with each adventure, so we’ll guide you through any purchases or rentals that you might need. We’ll also send you a printable detailed gear list.

This may seem like a lot of stuff, but the lightweight gear has been specifically recommended so that each person will carry a base weight of 30-35 lbs, but no more than 30% of their body weight.
