Cardboard Campout
(Fort Building)
We have an annual Cardboard Campout (Fort Building). This will be our pre-winter campout. We will be building forts out of cardboard and sleeping in them. We will be teaching the boys how to winter camp in a safe, easy to abandon, environment. It will be cold, so please read the "what to bring carefully". We may even qualify for a couple of Frost Points.
What to Bring:
- Winter sleeping bag (rated at 15 degrees or below) or multiple sleeping bags (nested together)
- Sleeping bags need to be rated for much lower than what the temperatures will be.
- Extra Blankets (for above and below sleeping bag) for extra insulation
- Thick pad to sleep on (thicker is better), 2 pads would be preferred
- note: air mattresses are terrible for winter camping
- Change of clothing, including clean underwear and socks, to sleep in (critical!)
- Flannel pants, sweatshirt, and winter hat (beanie) to sleep in
- Hand/toe warmers (optional) (10+ hours - anything less than 8 hour is useless for overnight)
