PACKING LIST
We have created an approved list of all the items that you will need for the trek. The list should be downloaded and printed out. You can use the list to check off the items as you pack them. If an item is not on the list, please don’t bring it. All items listed are needed so please bring them. Remember, everything must fit in your 5-gallon bucket (see below) except your overnight/sleeping gear.
Here's what you should have when you arrive...
5 GALLON BUCKET
Each individual’s personal items must be able to fit into a 5 gallon bucket with a lid (NOT including your overnight sleeping gear). The bucket serves a number of functions. It allows each trek family to organize and pack their handcarts, keeps your gear waterproof, and provides a seat for you to sit on. Feel free to personalize it with extra padding, colorful designs, or whatever else you can think of.
YOUR PIONEER CLOTHES
Come to the MV Stake Center wearing your pioneer clothes.
LARGE ZIPPEREED IKEA BAG
You may have one of these laying around your house already, but if not, they cost about $5 at IKEA. These bags are very durable and work well to fit sleeping gear. This should fit your sleeping bag, pad, pillow, and any additional blankets you may want. This will be labeled with your Trek family name and will be delivered to your campsite each night.

This is the list of everything you should pack in your bucket.
