Van/car camping is also an option if you happen to be driving one of those types of vehicles.
Bring blankets and/or sleeping bag and a pillow!
Bring the right trail work gear!!
Here's your list of things you must remember to bring to trail work in order to make it through...
- Backpack (hydration pack recommended) to carry your lunch, water, and other necessities.
- Work gloves. Second pair isn't a baid idea either. We also have work gloves if you don't have your own favorite pair.
- Protective eyewear. We also can provide this if you don't have your own.
- Sun screen for sunny days.
- Work boots with solid steel or plastic toe box. Sneakers don't cut it for trail work because we're moving heavy things like rocks and logs, and you could get your toes smashed up pretty bad if you don't have adequate protection.
- Long pants & Long sleeves. We work with brush, and saws and things that can scratch you up or cut you if you're not wearing protective clothing. Layer up.
- Rain pancho because it can get wet in our winter and spring days.
- Technu, while we have this on-site there is a lot of poison oak at Wente, and this stuff is the real deal. You might want your own in case you're concerned about a contaminated bottle in the shower, and are exceptionally sensitive.
