The Clothing Committee has put together this comprehensive slideshow to demonstrate what
to wear and what not to wear, what to pack and what not to pack, as we prepare for the
amazing Stake Trek this summer. Enjoy. What not to wear: Beanies, Basketball shorts, high
heels, baseball hats, t-shirts with large logos, no going barefoot, that's pretty obvious,
and no levi's. Perfume and Cologne will not be tolerated because everyone else around
you is going to stink anyway so you may as well smell just like them. Makeup. Ladies,
you are already beautiful enough without it. Trust me, you're not going to need it. Hairspray,
Gel, Mirrors, or anything else that promotes vanity will not be permitted. Use the social
media of the pioneers, it's called talking, no technology allowed. Here's what works for
PJ's. Basically anything that fits you well and is comfortable enough to sleep in. Deodorant.
Plan on sweating. Toilet Paper. You're one and only luxury item, you're going to want
it. Miscellaneous hygiene, absolutely necessary things you also feel you may need is recommended.
Sunscreen and Bug spray should be brought. Proper dental hygiene. Please, Please practice
it. Please, for the sake of the others, bring your meds. For the Young Women, what you can
wear. Bonnets, aprons, dresses, shawls, skirts, blouses, and pantaloons. Acceptable footwear,
walking shoes or hiking boots. Anything that is comfortable to walk in for long periods
of time. We also recommend extra socks, and make sure they are warm and comfortable. For
the Young Men, please bring a button-up collared shirt, a pair of slacks, and a belt is recommended.
Cowboy hats and broad brim hats are also recommended. Bring a water bottle for optimal hydration.
If you would prefer to not eat with your fingers, please feel free to bring dinnerware. Pie
tins, silverware, tin cup. A first aid kit, moleskin, journal and pen and a trek handbook
because you are going to get injured, and you are going to want to write about it. Duct
tape is essential. The slide speaks for itself. Don't talk back to your leaders, Warning,
disciplinary action will be taken, this may include duct taping your mouth shut, tying
you to a stake and leaving you to the wolves. Well, okay, maybe not. But disciplinary action
will be taken. It will get cold at night please bring sweatshirt, jacket, or a coat. Plan
for detrimental weather conditions. In the even that you forget a poncho, your dirty
clothes sack may double as a poncho. Label all of your gear with your full name and the
name of your group family name. Label your gunny sack in the same fashion. Also, your
gunny sack has a seventeen pound limit, this includes your sleeping bag so keep extras
to a minimum. That means no bringing that five pound thing of licorice that everyone
wants to eat. If you bring a pillowcase, your gunny sack can double as a pillow. For more
information, please visit hyrumstaketrek.blogspot.com check the blogspot for the full packing list.
While you are looking for these items, we recommend you start with your own closet because
I'm sure you have at least a few things in there. If you don't ask your neighbors for
help, If your neighbors don't have anything as well, then check the D.I. or garage sales.
If they don't have one, then your up a creek without a paddle. Patterns will be on the
blogspot for bonnets and aprons if you feel the desire to sew your own. The end.
