OK, I've been asked by some what they should bring for this event.

At a minimum...

CAMPING GEAR
You should have some type of enclosed camping shelter (sand can get everywhere), sleeping bags (gets cold at nite) and other basic camping items (stove, etc.)

Also it can get cold during the day depending on the weather so have a variety of jackets (windbreaker, lightweight, medium, heavy).

VEHICLE
Try to make sure it's in good and reliable mechanical condition.

Optional items...
- The larger the tires the better (can air down tires)
- A Snatch/Recovery Strap (not a tow strap)
- Basic to full tool sets. If you have them and can bring them (resonably) please do.
- Others will have tools and other necessities as well but it's always better to be prepared yourself.

COMMUNICATIONS GEAR
Make sure you have some form of communications with you. At least a cell phone, or CB radio. Range depends on placement of the antenna so you may or may not be able to communicate from town to us on the beach. That's why a cell phone is important if you have one. I'll also have an FRS radio but that's only good for close range comms... even if its says its a 12 mile range unit.

For CB, I always try to use Ch 1. For a backup frequency lets got with Channel 20

FOOD
Entirely up to you. Remember there's lots of places to buy food at Pismo/Oceana so if you're late, just come down and buy something locally.

MISC
Trash Bags: Please be environmentally friendly. While there are trash cans on the beach they're usually not close buy.
Diaper Wipes: Great for cleaning the dirt of yourself and "gentle" on your skin. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />:o

I'm sure I'm probably missing some info (please add if you notice something glaring), but that's the bulk of it.
