For the overnight excursion, you are reminded that some camping equipment will be required in addition to the usual binoculars, camouflage gear, and photography equipment. Water canteens, hats and small knapsacks are almost essential, and newcomers should remember such items as protective socks, waterproof hiking boots, insect repellant, balm or ointment, and any personal medication.
As the temperatures tend to be cooler in the north, some warm clothing: sweaters, jackets, pullovers, and so on would also be a good idea. Tents will be provided, and there will be basic washing facilities.
