If you want to cook, bring a lighter. lol. Learned that one this weekend.
Won't make that mistake twice! I tend to bring too much food anyways, so
I just had salami and an apple for dinner. the whole if you screw up it
doesn't really matter because you will be home the next day thing
Wow, all great tips here to get folks started. Liesl one thing that you
should keep in mind, and i think Grant brought this up when he explain the
S24O concept, it's only an overnite, and in many cases it's less then 24
hours. You're only a few hours (ride) away from home and in an emergency
All the tips are great (not only for me but like Minh says for others
contemplating the adventure as well), I tend to be the firm checklist
type and err on the side of bringing too much so I am really trying to
relax in the spirit of the S24O Just Ride chapter and just give it a
whirl. And the

On the flashlight issue, I suggest a camping headlight (hands free)
PLUS a cheap LED bike headlight that is easily detachable. One needs
2 lights: should one fail, you need the other to see what needs
attention (change bulb, batteries, etc.). Or you just break it or
lose it or whatever. Lights
LIesl, bring a book. Something seems really right about John McPhee
(Coming Into The Country, The Control of Nature, Survival of the Bark
Canoe, etc) for S24Os. Also, bring a camera and share the images with
us, along with a trip report.
Looks like my first S24O of the year is coming up on my
You have to be warm enough, you have to have enough food, and you have
to know where you're going. After those basics are covered, the rest
can fall into place. For warmth, I like down bags, but I have a liner
too, and a down sweater for around camp at night. Big Agnes makes an
insulated pad

Coffee!

French press is amazingly easy but does require the press. They are cheap

Oh no! I didn't know the Snow Peak spork came in a short model. That's the

I assume you have a sleeping pad and just didn't list it? If not, get one,
you'll sleep warmer and it'll soften the ground a bit. I go with the old
style closed cell foam because they're ultra durable and super light, but
most people these days seem to prefer the inflatable variety.
