It's a Wild World, So Get Out & Explore It
WSE Checklist
We provide life jackets, tents, sleeping pads, eating utensils, food, one large, waterproof dry bag for personal clothing and gear, and one small dry bag for day use items.  All of your items must fit into a 100 liter bag; a good estimate of this volume is to see if your things will fit into a tall (100 liter) black trash bag.
