A General Checklist for Camping
A General Checklist for Camping Many people think of three kinds of camping: Cabin "camping", tent (site) camping, and backpacking. The following list pertains to all kinds of camping except where indicated. For backpacking, the rule is the lighter and smaller the better. Generally for all camping you should pack everything you think you need, then put half of it back. By no stretch of the imagination is this list the definitive and most complete list available, but, it is a good list that should help jog your memory and give you a better chance to remember most everything you should need on a camping trip. • Bedding • Blankets (include extras for cold weather camping) • Cot/Air Mattress (leave the cot home for backpacking) • Ground cloth for tent camping (goes underneath sleeping bag) • Pillow (optional) • Sleeping bags • Sheets to line sleeping bags (particularly nice if your sleeping bag is made out of a material which promotes sweating). (non-backpacking only; for backpacking you should bring a sleeping bag appropriate to the terrain and time of year) • Clothing/Apparel usually needed • Belt(s) or suspenders • Pants (avoid blue jeans if there's a chance you'll be camping in rainy country) • Boots-- Hiking and/or mud variety • Spare pair of glasses/contacts (if you wear 'em)-- Athletic and/or spare • Sneakers/tennis shoes • Sunglasses • Sweaters/sweatshirts • Underwear • Warm Weather Clothing/Apparel • Hats--ball caps, wide-brim hats, etc. for warm weather • Kleenex/Handkerchiefs • Rain Panchos/Rain Suit • Shorts/Bermudas • Lightweight shirts; T-shirts • Swim gear (Bathing suit, goggles, sunscreen, towels; for more conventional campgrounds rather than backpacking) • Cold Weather Clothing/Apparel • Coat or similar (bring a couple of lighter coats and sweatshirts so that you can "layer" if the temperature drops) • Down Vest (for cold climes) • Fatigue Jacket • Hooded coat • Gloves or mittens for cold weather only • Old slippers or equivalent for cabin camping • Hats-- cover-the-ears variety for cold weather (e.g. -

You may want to hike for just a few hours, or you may want to camp for a few days. One meal and some snacks are all that's needed for a short hike. Planning meals for a longer hike or camping trip requires more thought. You have to choose foods that are light enough to carry in a backpack and that can be transported safely.

Project description The purpose of the CPA0003, under the Project GaiA Cook Stove ProgrAmme of Activities (PG PoA) is to displace the use of non-renewable biomass and fossil fuel for cooking in refugee households through the distribution of energy efficient cook stoves powered by ethanol, a renewable energy source. The CPA is of the small-scale type falling under sectoral scope: Energy industries renewable/non-renewable sources. The CPA will be implemented in refugee camps within the national boundary of Ethiopia. Stoves units distributed under this CPA will not exceed a total installed/rated capacity of 45MWth while individual stoves will have a rated capacity not exceeding 150 kWth. Project Gaia Inc. will be the Coordinating/Managing Entity (CME) of the programme while the CPA implementer will be Gaia Association. As the CPA implementer, Gaia Association will be responsible for the following: • Ensure that the CPA is implemented. • Operate and maintain the CPA for the duration of the project; • Keep records of parameters as per the monitoring plan and provide hard and electronic records to the CME on a regular basis and provide the CME and DOE with required documents and access to stove users. -

Feasibility of Ethanol Fuel for Cooking in Upland Sierra Leone (Pdf)
Feasibility of Ethanol Fuel for Cooking in Upland Sierra Leone A capstone project submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for The degree of Master of Science in International Agricultural Development University of California, Davis May 2019 Dana Armstrong M.S. Candidate, International Agricultural Development B.A., International Relations University of California, Davis Statement of Conflict of Interest and Consent This study was initiated by Martin Kailie, resident of Sierra Leone and UC Davis Humphrey Fellow. Research protocol was designed by Dana Armstrong (me). Because I was working with Martin, a local individual, and not a large established agency, my access to support in country relied on him. Our research team therefore consisted of myself and another UC Davis student, Martin’s friend Suley Koroma, and Martin’s daughter Massa Kailie. Both Suley and Massa are university graduates and possessed significant experience in research, having been employed by NGOs such as Médecins sans Frontiers and Gallup World Poll. They are experienced researchers but also friends and family of Martin, which may have resulted in unmeasurable bias in data collection or interpretation. Study participants were invited to the study’s orientation session through word of mouth, and because this spread through a network of friends, at least 2/3 of the study participants were friends or acquaintances of Martin Kailie. For this reason, friendship with Martin may have had an unmeasurable effect on purchasing behavior. This study was designated “Not Research” by the IRB, but consent signatures were collected regardless. A copy of the consent form can be found in Appendix C and signed copies can be produced upon request.
