A LIST OF Very Good Ideas of Things to Bring

  • YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN BEDDING: The cabins have cots with mattresses, but you must bring your own sheets/blankets/sleeping bags and pillows. You’ll be very cold if you don’t bring your own.

  • Headlamp: Redwood forests are dark at night.

  • Battery-powered lantern for cabin: did we mention that there’s no electricity in the cabins? Strings of battery powered lights are nice for cabin ambience or forest decor.

  • Curtains: if you have some desire for privacy in your cabin, then bring material to cover the windows e.g. extra sheet or sarong.

  • A towel if you enjoy bathing.

  • A cup or mug if you like beverages in serving sizes other than 8oz — perhaps even something with a lid for carrying beverages out to the meadow and beyond.

  • Camping chair: this place has lots of benches but not so many chairs with backs, if you like to lounge around the fire.

  • Booze:

    • Beer: We bring a keg for everyone to share; if you want specific brews, bring your own.

    • Hard liquor: bring your own tequilavodkaabntheschnappswhiskeyetc. Feel free to invent/dutifully prepare a signature drink to share, if you’re so inclined.

    • Wine: None provided. Conveniently, most of you will be passing through amazing wine country on the drive up.

  • EANABs (Equally attractive non-alcoholic beverages): We provide a kombucha keg, coffee and chai. Bring anything else for you or to share.

  • Food for yourself or to contribute for shared meals: Check out info on FAQ.

  • Musical Instruments for campfire singalongs or mind-bending concert performances. Join our otamatone and cat piano orchestras.

  • Earplugs for dancehall or if your cabin is close to the dancehall.

  • Warm layers

  • COSTUMES! There are no specific themes, just general awesomeness.

  • Did you remember to BRING BEDDING, for sure?

  • Anything very fun or silly that you might have lying around, please bring these sorts of things (except pyrotechnic things, leave those at home).

  • A layer for dryness in case of rain.
