Packing Lists for Trips that Sleep Outside
These Trip types camp in the great outdoors, and can be a great introduction to sleeping outside. Participants can expect to sleep under a group tarp, use primitive bathroom facilities (outhouses or the woods), filter fresh water from natural sources, and have no access to electricity.

Be sure to review the Packing Lists How To's and the Gear Item Glossary for more details about specific items, what not to bring, tips on acquiring gear, and what Trips will provide.
