Some of you are HTC/PTC veterans. Some of you are rookies. However, we are willing to bet that all of youat some point relay weekend will utter these words: “Ohhh, I wish I had (fill in the blank) right now.” To help eliminate some packing omissions, we asked Gold Sponsor, Fred Meyer, to put together a checklist of items to get you thinking about what to pack, and what you might need to stock up on before HTC gets here!!!

Entertainment:􀀀 Games (Mad Libs, deck ofcards, etc)􀀀 Mp3 & charger􀀀 Extra batteries􀀀 Camera - Good for both memories, and blackmail!􀀀 Magazines and a book􀀀 Hit the craft aisle for van décor!!!!

Toiletries􀀀 Towel, washcloth, soap - assuming you do plan to shower.􀀀 Deodorant - Important for van morale!􀀀 Toothbrush & toothpaste􀀀 Women - ponytail holders

Sleeping:􀀀 Ear plugs􀀀 Extra blanket􀀀 Sleeping bags􀀀 Sleeping bag cushion

Health, First Aid, & Safety:􀀀 Blister Pads or moleskin􀀀 Bandaids􀀀 Analgesic Balm (i.e. Icy Hot)􀀀 Pain Reliever􀀀 Antacids􀀀 Instant Ice Packs􀀀 Ace bandage􀀀 Hand Wipes or Bacterial hand gel􀀀 Sunscreen􀀀 Reflective Vest􀀀 Flashlight and/or headlamp

Clothes - We are only listing the little things that get forgotten.􀀀 Hat or visor􀀀 Underwear􀀀 Extra socks􀀀 Sunglasses􀀀 A set of clothes for each of your legs -You’ll feel a lot better putting on a fresh set each time.􀀀 Spare running/walking shoes􀀀 Sandals for the beach party!􀀀 Warm jacket, stocking cap - it’s cold at night out there!

Misc:􀀀 Box of big ziplocks (sounds random, but great for misc items and stinky clothes!)􀀀 Spare shoe laces􀀀 Cell phone charger􀀀 Roll of packing tape (to tape things to your van, etc)􀀀 Permanent marker - Why? To log your roadkill of course!􀀀 Bandana - for gravel legs
