Packing List
Top 10 must haves for Kindle NW:
Bed padding and warmth: most of the shelters have wooden bunks and your standard air mattress won't fit on top.
Shower shoes, we have showers at Kindle Northwest!
Food bins (with lids): ninja trained squirrels will steal your food if they can access it.
Wagon: skip the shuttle line and haul your stuff in on foot!
Prop storage or decor: everyone's props look the same in the dark! Avoid confusion in the evenings at the fire circle and on the beach and craft something to distinguish your props from your neighbor's props. We recommend stickers, sparkly tape, etc.
Fuel for the fire circle. (White Gas or Lamp Oil) Don't forget to bring enough fuel to spin fire for the entire weekend! You'll want that extra can of fuel.
Water vessel or any sort. A hydration pack or the biggest water bottle you can find.
Trash bag! Pack it in, pack it out baby.
Socks or slippers for the lodge. The lodge is a shoe-free zone. Take workshops all day, spin all night, and stay cozy.
Rain gear, you must have rain gear of some sort. We are on the oregon coast and it gets chilly at night!

 

We have a much more exhaustive packing list below: 

Site info
Camping/glamping facilities (See our Camping Page!)
  • big lodge that’s open 24 hrs (shoes off inside)
  • faucets for drinkable water near the lodge (sometimes funny colored) and some(?) of the campsites
  • Adirondacks (bunk cabins at the campsites with 1 open wall with bathroom nearby)
  • showers (near the lodge)
Campsites and fire circle / beach areas are a bit of a walk (2-10 min, depending) from the lodge, along narrow trails. Bring a light to navigate.
You can optionally bring a tent but tent space is limited; many people will be in Adirondacks.
The local squirrels are very good at stealing food. Store food in a labeled bin/bag in the lodge.
Terrain:
  • fire circle: mostly sand, a bit uneven
  • beach: duh
  • paths and workshop area outside the lodge have a lot of sharp rocks
  • if it rains, a lot of the paths are dirt and may get slippery
Misc:
There will be food/prop vendors and ice available. 
 
Packing essentials:
  • Trash bags (pack out all trash)
  • Water bottle
  • Clothing & shoes for: 45-50F nights, 60-70F days, potential rain, windy beaches, and being fire safe
  • Headlamp or some kind of light for the trails at night
  • Food, eating utensils/bowl/plate, and whatever equipment you need to prepare your food

Packing suggestions:
  • Potluck dish for Thursday at 6pm! Hot dishes get 2 raffle tickets; homemade dishes get 1 raffle ticket <3 - DON’T FORGET TO BRING A PLATE AND UTENSILS!
  • Drop off dishes inside the lodge when you arrive with a separate label with ingredients and heating instructions.
  • Label all of your props with an identifier, someone is likely to have the same balls/staff/hoop as you and it’s nice knowing what’s what. Picking out whose PX3’s are dirtier sucks.
