That is is, there is no electrical so no need for hair driers, curling irons... that stuff. Hopefully you signed up for towel service, so no need to pack towels.
Fannypack-really this is a restock of any inventory used while training.
- blister block/body glide
- blister bandaids, regular bandaids
- aspirin/ibuprofen/aleve
- rain poncho? -not a must as they hand them out at stops if it starts raining.
- crystal light hydration.... only if you are like me and can't drink Gatorade.
- lip balm
- cash/debit card- in case you see something you have to have while walking
- Friday's change of socks.

That's about it, unless you found you had to have something while training. No need to pack food or snacks. There will be soooo much food on route. They don't call it the 3 Day Buffet for nothing.
I'm not sure it's as important out in sunny (LOL) California to have everything packed in ziploc bags, but I found it was nice to be organized that way. If it does end up raining, you will be so glad everything is in plastic.
Sometimes, but I am getting better. It helps that we know what we are doing for three days and do not have to change clothes depending on where we are going. I will need to bring a micro-fiber towel for my hair.
