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-Tunic]]s and [[Pants]]
*Dresses, [[bodice]]s, [[chemise]]s, skirt
*Fancy Garb

*accessories/decorations
*[[Socks]] or [[hose]] and [[underwear]] or [[braies]]

*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]] [[cloak]]s aren't very warm.
* Mundane Clothing - a dry outfit in the car can make a world of difference if everything else gets wet
