CAMP GEAR

For multi-day scramble activities, additional equipment will be necessary to remain protected from the weather, sleep comfortably and ensure proper nutrition and hydration.

All of the gear shown below are examples of typical brands and models that are used on scramble activities.  Links for each product will take you to the manufacturers website where you can review the product specifications and suggested retail prices.
