Tent:
� Every Racer needs a 2-person, freestanding tent. This tent will
only hold one person with their gear. It needs to be freestanding in
case you want to set it up indoors where you cannot stake the tent into
the ground. Married Couples should get a 3-person tent.
� Make sure tent has adequate ventilation.
� You will need a rain-fly for your tent.
� Consider getting a “footprint.” This is an extra piece of
material that goes between the bottom of the tent and the ground to
protect the floor. This isn’t necessary but will prolong the life of
your tent.
� The tent needs to be lightweight. No tent should be over
5-6lbs. A good tent is around 4 lbs.
Bedding:
� Small Pillow
� A sleeping bag
that is rated for at least 35 degrees. Based on the typical weather in
your location, you may want an even higher degree.
� Sheet or
Sleeping Bag Liner for Warm Weather.
� A sleeping pad
is necessary and not the place to save money. Get something that is
good quality, comfortable, and durable.
