Packing for a river trip can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Middle Fork Wilderness Outfitters provides all the essential camping gear and more, so you can travel light while staying comfortable. From spacious tents and cozy sleeping bags to gourmet meals and high-quality safety equipment, we take care of the details. Below, you’ll find a full list of what we provide, along with a packing checklist to help you prepare. If you have any gear-related questions, feel free to reach out!
At the pre-trip orientation, we’ll provide you with three waterproof bags:
💡 Pro Tip: The gear boat goes ahead each morning to set up camp, so your large bag won’t be accessible until late afternoon. Keep daily essentials in your small day bag for easy access!
Layering is key! Mornings can be chilly, afternoons warm, and weather conditions unpredictable. Plan for a mix of sun and cool breezes by layering:
☀️
Base Layer: Quick-dry shorts or swimsuit, moisture-wicking shirt
🌅
Morning Warmth: A fleece or lightweight jacket
🎒
On the Water: River sandals or water shoes, hat, sunglasses with a strap, and plenty of sunscreen
Let us help you make your journey to the Middle Fork seamless. Whether you need travel tips, lodging recommendations, or packing advice, we’re here to assist every step of the way.
