RONIN Colorado

On the RONIN Colorado trip we will be camping in the National Forest in non developed or dispersed camp areas for 4 nights during the trip.

"Where is the bathroom?" you ask. Simple grab the shovel and dig a hole these are undeveloped areas out in the woods. This is a great way to immerse ourselves in the Rockies and if things get rowdy in the evenings we will not bug anyone.

This is Colorado and the temperatures can dive in the evenings at the altitudes we will be at so it is a good idea to bring layers to dress in. A couple of suggestions I would recommend are:

* Short sleeve shirts
* Long sleeve shirts
* Hoodies are great
* Medium Jacket (water proof/resistant)

Another reason to bring the layers is due to the fact that fire bans MAY be in effect during the trip so keep checking the home page and I will post updates as the date approaches.

You should be able to set up your own equipment so be sure to learn before you have to set up in the dark or worse in the rain.

Your average camping gear

* Tent (3 season or better recommended)
* Sleeping bag (20 degree recommended or bring some extra blankets)
* Sleeping pad/air Mattress, for comfort and keeps you a little warmer off the ground
* Gas Grill, if we have fire bans or for general cooking
* Cooking Utensils/Equipment - even a stick for a hotdog
* Beer (we will be making supply stops about every other day, and a town will not be too far)
* Clothing for temperatures ranging from 20 to 90 degrees
* Chairs, camp chairs are excellent & compact
* 1 gallon of water per person per day, don't forget the dogs too
* Flashlights/Lanterns/Headlamps
* Propane, white gas, lantern/cooking fuel
* Lots of Trash Bags... Everything that goes in must come out

Other creature comforts you may want to consider

* Table
* Portable shower - sun shower
* Portable toilet - even just a stand up seat
* Propane heater - Colder nights if fires are not permitted

The following items are not allowed:

* Fireworks (fire hazard)
* Firearms (unless stored properly)
