New York State Marches for Peace

SUGGESTED LIST OF WHAT WALKERS SHOULD BRING:

• Good walking shoes! You might want two pairs so that you can alternate and one pair can dry out.
• Light wool socks (the best for walking long distances)
• Vaseline for chafing
• Sunscreen
• Sun hat
• Rain gear (poncho, coat, pants)
• Small back pack (to carry water bottle, snack)
• Change of clothes (but not too many!)
• Musical Instruments
• Tent may be necessary in some locations. Check with organizers.
• Flashlight
• Medication must be in Appropriately Labeled Prescription Containers
• Food: Food will be provided along the way. If you have special dietary needs please inform the organizers who will assist you planing to have your food brought out.
• A light weight reusable individual place setting (plate, bowl, utensils, cup) and water bottle.
• Bedding: Our sleeping accommodations will vary along the route. Mostly we will be sleeping on floors, so a good sleeping bag, pillow and pad are helpful. In some areas, tents will be necessary. We will post these locations on the web.
• Packing: Our ’sag’ car will be carrying most of our things during the day while we walk. It will be essential that we not have too much stuff, so when you are packing please keep this in mind. If possible, pack your clothes in a separate bag from your sleeping gear.
• Liability: We will be asking everyone to sign a liability release form.(Participation Agreement)
• If you are under 18 we will need a parental/guardian permission letter required.
