Most gear can be purchased at Cabelas 1-800-237-4444, Campmor 1-800-226-7667 or for cold weather footwear Schnees 1-800-922-1562. Contact us if you have any questions or want specific recommendations.
Also, to fish on your days off and on the pack trip, a non-resident fishing license is needed and can be purchased for $22/per 2-day sticker or $69 for the year. This price is not included in tuition, because the school cannot purchase a fishing license for you. The fishing license can be purchased at the local gas station.
The weather can be unpredictable (highs in the 60's, lows in the 30's) in May or June. Be sure and bring warm, comfortable clothing and suitable gear for your stay. Be reminded that there is no running water or electricity at camp. There is an outhouse and a shower tent.
Optional:
Fishing gear
Blanket (if you are cold blooded)
Binoculars
Saddle and misc. tack
Anything else to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable---remember, you will be camping for several weeks!
As a minimum, you should have all the items on the first list when you come. As you go through the school and on to a job, you will have a much better idea of what you will need and want for further gear.
Download and print the above gear list.
