Equipment

 

The McMaster Outdoor Club has an extensive amount of gear that it donates to any new trippers or those without gear to use on any of the Club’s trips.  Equipment ranges from sleeping bags to rain gear to tents to canoes! Most of this equipment is included in the price of the trips; however, if extra, participants will be notified ahead of time (i.e. Snowboard/ski rentals).

 

 

Packing guides
