Here's a suggested list of items you might like to think about taking to an SCA camping event like Pennsic.

Garb

Pack at least one set of hot and one set of cold. Be ready when the weather does the most annoying thing you can think of.

  • Boots or other footwear (x 2 pairs) walking, dancing, fighting
  • T-Tunics and Pants
  • Dresses, bodices, chemises, skirt
  • Fancy Garb
  • pouch to put your money and other stuff in
  • accessories/decorations
  • Socks or hose and underwear or braies
  • Belt
  • Stuff to wear to bed (depending upon shared state of sleeping arrangements). Undertunics/dresses make great period nightgowns for both sexes. Otherwise consider pyjamas/boxers unless you are close friends with your tent mate.
  • A *warm* Cloak (it can get real cold at night). Hint: Cotton cloaks aren't very warm.
  • Mundane Clothing - a dry outfit in the car can make a world of difference if everything else gets wet

  • A hat, hood, cap or some kind of other head covering.
