Nicaragua General Packing List Nicaragua General Packing List General Information Please remember that when packing for volunteer travel it is better to pack light than to pack heavy. Packing too many unnecessary things will be burdensome and potentially costly at airport check-in. During the journey, you must be able to carry all of your own gear, and if overweight, you will be responsible for paying additional luggage fees. Understand that if you forget to pack something, most of the items on the packing list are available for purchase in- country. Remember: Less is better…when in doubt, leave it out! Weather In the interest of packing light, versatile items like rain-jackets, hooded fleeces, and long-sleeve wicking t-shirts are recommended. Consult the web for weather conditions for your specific travel destination to see what kind of weather you are likely to encounter during the season in which you will arrive. Absolute Necessities Passport with visa! Make 2 photocopies of the signature page and tuck it into two separate places in your luggage Airline ticket: Printed copies. Some countries require proof of departure in lieu of a visa Credit card/cash: Spending money and access to emergency funds Emergency medical insurance card: iNext or other International health card: You will receive this when you get immunizations for the trip- make a copy before you travel and keep in a safe place Prescription medications: And copies of critical prescriptions First aid kit: Purchase a quality first aid kit and add additional items as needed. Consult your physician and visit the www.nols.edu website for complete kits and content suggestions Phone: with family and emergency contact information and mailing addresses for postcards Travel Bags (check your airline for baggage size restrictions and fees) Suitcase/backpack: When considering what to pack in, please remember that throughout the journey you are likely to encounter rough terrain and to make frequent transitions into and out of vehicles and possibly trains. Pack all of your things in a durable and lock-able suitcase or backpack that is easy to carry yourself. Duffel bag: It is advisable to bring an empty duffel bag that can be rolled flat and left in the bottom of your suitcase or backpack. This will come in handy later for doing laundry (separating dirty clothes, etc.) and for transporting souvenirs and other purchases on your return flight back home. The duffel bag should be soft, foldable, and have zippers that can be secured with a lock. [email protected] Page 1 of 5 970.482.3188 Day pack: Bring a small daypack or fanny pack for day outings. You will use this in airports and on daily excursions. A daypack that has zippers that can be secured with a lock is ideal. Stuff sacks: These will help you separate and organize things (to separate toiletries and clothing items, shoes, organize souvenirs, etc Ziploc bags: Ziplocs serve the same purpose as stuff sacks, but can help you keep items like notebooks, medicines, cameras, and other items dry. Money belt or pouch: Use a discreet money belt/pouch to safely carry your passport and money in while traveling. Purchase one that can be worn and concealed underneath your clothing (i.e. one that goes under your waistline), rather than wear one that hangs over your neck. A money pouch that dangles over your neck identifies you as a tourist and can easily be stolen. Packing Tip: Use your day pack as a carry-on for the airplane. Put money and important travel documents in your money belt, and a change of clothing, valuables such as phones, cameras, and important toiletries/medicines in your day pack. Gear Flashlight or head-lamp: Pack a flashlight or head-lamp, with working batteries and spare batteries, to use in the evenings. Power outages are always a possibility. Water bottle - large: You should aim to drink two liters of purified water per day to stay hydrated and healthy. The water in San Juan del Sur is drinkable and purified water is available at the hotel so bring a reusable water bottle to use so you don’t contribute to the growing problem of waste disposal and/or recycling plastic water bottles. Reusable water bottles can be taken through airport security as long as they are empty. Watch or travel alarm clock: Bring a watch with an alarm or a travel alarm clock to stay on schedule and catch early morning trains, flights, etc. Small locks: These can be used to secure your backpack, daypack, or duffel bag. Sleeping sack: A very light-weight liner that you can use on your mattress. Consider treating it with permethrin insecticide spray before you leave. Clothing Consider bringing lightweight clothes that dry quickly for maximum comfort. The clothing culture in most countries is modest. To be respectful of local culture, you will be expected to dress according to local custom. Men should plan on wearing lightweight shorts or pants in town and shirts with sleeves (t-shirts are fine). The town is very casual so athletic clothing is fine. Bring some clothes that you can get dirty or even dispose of before you return home as you might be involved in some projects that can leave you very dirty! Women should plan to dress modestly. In order to be respectful of local norms and to avoid unwanted attention [email protected] Page 2 of 5 970.482.3188 o Women should not wear: see-through or tight clothing, low-cut shirts or pants, sleeveless or spaghetti-strap shirts, short skirts or short shorts, and low-rise jeans. Instead, women should cover their upper arms and legs, and wear loose- fit clothing, longer skirts, and Capri or light-weight pants. Modesty is better to not attract unwanted attention. Other notes: Over the course of the trip, participants will have access to laundry facilities and will be able to wash their clothing. The weather is likely to be humid and hot in certain areas, so please try to pack clothing that is light-weight and that dries quickly (wicking material is better than cotton). Bring clothes you are not worried about getting dirty. 2-3 t-shirts (one wicking t-shirt) 2-3 pairs of pants or shorts: Light weight pants (jeans do not dry quickly) 2-3 long-sleeve shirts: Light weight for layering 7 pairs of socks: Comfortable, quick-drying, and moisture wicking socks are ideal 8 pairs of comfortable underwear. 1 rain jacket: Light weight, with hood 1 swimsuit: Be conservative. Pair a two-piece with board shorts or a swim shirt. 1 pair walking shoes/sneakers: Sturdy walking shoes or light-weight trail shoes that are versatile enough to be worn every day (both in town and on hikes) 1 pair Chacos or flip flops: For bathing and use in certain water activities 1 set pajamas: Lighter weight 3 bras: (one sports bra) 1-skirt/dress: For everyday wear; should be knee length. Toiletries Please pack only the key necessities. For example, do not bring hair dryers, curling irons, excessive make-up, or other nonessential items. Again, if you forget anything, you will be able to purchase most items. You will also want to pack basic first-aid products such as ibuprofen, antihistamines, antacids, bandages, etc that aren’t included in your first aid kit. Toothbrush and toothpaste Hairbrush or comb Biodegradables soap Biodegradable shampoo/conditioner Lip balm Sunscreen: Expensive down there as the locals don’t use it! Heavy-duty insect repellent: Ditto - expensive down there as the locals don’t use it! Best if it contains 25%-35% DEET. Towel or sarong: Small and lightweight for beach or blanket Hand sanitizer: Pack small bottle of anti-bacterial gel for cleaning hands without water [email protected] Page 3 of 5 970.482.3188 Glasses/contacts and solution: Bring a copy of your prescription if possible Small pack tissues or toilet paper: put inside a Ziploc bag Multi-vitamins and probiotics (optional): Good for staying healthy! Feminine supplies: Supply of tampons/pads as they are not always readily available Aloe Vera or some sort of sunburn remedy: Invariably the kids will forget sunscreen at one point or another! Mosquito Net – to protect from the night biters! Miscellaneous Sunglasses: and a neck leash is useful too Sun hat: one that is packable. Bandana: Useful for many purposes Camera: And extra batteries/cards; don’t forget your battery charger and a waterproof case Notebook/journal/sketchbook Book: Lightweight/compact; to read while traveling; can trade books with other travelers Photos or postcards: Share pictures of your family and friends - good conversation starters! Duct tape: peel off about 4 meters worth and make a mini-roll--useful for all kinds of repairs. Whistle: for emergencies Energy Bars/Comfort Food: 5-10 for long travel days—don’t buy ones with any kind of coating, it will melt! (Store in double-bagged Ziploc). Powdered energy drinks: Powdered Gatorade or something similar (double-bagged in Ziplocs) is a nice change from plain water and helps you cope with tropical heat and cover the taste of purified water. Adapter/voltage converter: for charging music player, camera batteries, etc. If you buy an adapter, make sure it is intended for the region, and has your country listed on the package label. (220v in Chile: voltage converter AND adapter) Spending money: Major expenses will be covered by SAGE (accommodations, transportation, etc.), but you will need spending money to purchase items (i.e. snacks, all over SJDS but you might want to exchange a bit money at the airport. If bringing your ATM card, be sure to alert your bank to the places you will be traveling to ensure that it will work.

  • 101+Hiking Tips
    101+Hiking tips I was asked to present a talk titled 101 Plus Hiking Tips and am sharing these tips here. Credit for these should go to many sources as I have followed the advice of many fellow hikers. Special mention should be made, however, of the experienced hikers that have contributed their knowledge to the BackpackingLight Mailing List and to two books; Ray Jardine's Beyond Backpacking and A Hiker's Companion by Cindy Ross & Todd Gladfelter. Packing and Unpacking Walking Clothing Etiquette Staying Warm or Cool Care of Your Feet Your Campsite Knots For Backpackers Kitchen Tips Packing and Unpacking 1. Putting on your pack: Grab the pack by its haul loop and one shoulder strap, and lift it to one bent knee. Turn your back into the pack while inserting one arm into its shoulder strap. The pack is now hanging from that shoulder. Continue to swing the pack around and insert the the other arm, elbow first, into its shoulder strap. 2. Your waist belt should rest above and on your hip bones. 3. Fitting your pack: don't over tighten shoulder straps. Tighten just enough to keep your pack close to your body and stable. 4. For most packs, place heaviest items close to your back near the middle of the pack. The sleeping bag goes in first, followed by the food bag (perhaps the heaviest item). 5. Have a place for each item and always return the item to that place. 6. If possible, store stove gas and water outside the pack so everything doesn't get wet if the containers leak.

  • WHAT to BRING LIST REQUIRED ITEMS – ALL CAMPERS, CIT's & JR. STAFF for DEALING with MOUNTAIN WEATHER: • Winter Weight
    WHAT TO BRING LIST REQUIRED ITEMS – ALL CAMPERS, CIT’s & JR. STAFF FOR DEALING WITH MOUNTAIN WEATHER: • Winter Weight Sleeping Bag – It has snowed on overnights in both July and August two out of the last three years! We sleep in dome tents on the overnight and in large wall tents in camp. You can get miserably cold if your bag is not warm enough. Remember, down bags are useless to lethal when wet. If you send your camper with a down bag, be sure to send a Gore–Tex bivy bag with it! • Wool or Polar Fleece Blanket – Standard blanket size – no smaller. Even winter weight bags need help when it gets cold. • Warm Winter Parka or Jacket – (mountain winter, that is) insulated and windproof. Big enough to put layers under. Sleeves long enough to cover wrists when arms are outstretched in front. • Polar fleece jacket or wool sweater. Also used as layer under parka if it really gets cold! • Long Johns - Tops and Bottoms! Polypropylene or wool. Absolutely no cotton whatsoever!! Not as an inner layer and not a cotton-poly blend. Cotton can be lethal when it gets wet and cold. • Wool or Polar Fleece Hat. • Wool or Polar Fleece Gloves. • Wool or Polar Fleece Socks - At least 2 pair, more if forecast is for cooler weather or you have a chilly child. • Waterproof Rain Jacket & Pants – Make sure it is big enough to layer warm clothing underneath. Hoods must fit over riding helmets, or use a separate rainproof helmet cover. We will provide ponchos that will tie on to the backs of all the saddles to protect while riding ONLY.

  • The X-Kilt a Contemporary Kilt You Can Sew Yourself Developed for the Members Of
    The X-Kilt A Contemporary Kilt You Can Sew Yourself Developed for the Members of www.XMarksTheScot.com Who, What, Why and How I developed the design of this kilt in July 2006 to answer a need that had become apparent among the members of www.XMarksTheScot.com. Namely, lots of guys wanted to sew a kilt themselves, but were put off by the expense, the perceived difficulty of the job and the time involved. After having sewn up two kilts myself; the first being a plain canvas kilt and the second a traditionally made-hand-sewn tartan kilt, I was aware of the differences in terms of cost, difficulty and time between the two. I wanted to design something that anyone with a little bit of patience could sew, as long as they could get a few yards of suitable plain material and had a sewing machine in the house. Yet at the same time, I didn’t want to create something that borrowed too heavily from the existing contemporary kilts currently on the market. Two prototype kilts were made for two non-kilt-wearing friends, who told me of their preferences. Those preferences were heavily influenced by the fact that neither man was Scottish (one was Irish) and both had seen a number of Utilikilts (http://www.utilikilts.com). I took what I had learned from the first two kilts and sewed up two more, one for myself and one for another member of www.XmarksTheScot.com. From my experiences I developed this manual, which you can use to sew up your own contemporary X-Kilt.

  • Dear Parents, Some of You May Feel Uncertain of What Personal Items You Will Need to Pack for Your Trip to China
    Dear Parents, Some of you may feel uncertain of what personal items you will need to pack for your trip to China. Here are some wonderful packing tips from previous Great Wall families. They were kind enough to write out lists of what they packed and what was useful for their trips. I hope this information will be beneficial to you all! For more tips on packing lightly, please visit http://www.onebag.com. For Your Information: Pack as light as possible. You will be much happier, as porters and luggage carts are not always available. Make sure you can carry everything comfortably, including your child (if your child is an infant). You will be allowed to have a diaper bag when you are traveling if your baby is under two years old. If your child is older than two, he/she will be allowed the same baggage limitations as an adult, for you are paying the airline for their seat. Each paying passenger should be traveling with no more that one carry on piece of luggage and one checked bag. The checked bag may not weigh more than 44-lbs. (If you are booking your International flight with China Southern, please verify with Delight Travel or your booking agent on this airline’s luggage requirements.) Another suggestion: if more than one person is traveling, divide items up so that your clothes and other travel items are scattered throughout your luggage in case some of your luggage is delayed. Suggested packing list for parents: Passport/Visa Driver’s license Airplane tickets Intra-China Itinerary money, credit cards and traveler’s checks Money
