FOOD:

• Fruit- apples, strawberries, grapes, pomegranates, passion fruit, plums 

• Pasta with Meat Sauce

• One Degree Organic Oatmeal

TENT:

• The MoonLight Tents | TheTentLab 8 person tent- Flame retardant free, coated with silicone on the outside and polyurethane on the inside. Not crazy about that but all good. 

• Six Moon Designs is another tent company that has silicone and nylon fabrics and is flame retardant free

TOOLS:

• Hammer

BEDS:

• Air beds- We put in sun to off gas for the week 

• Cocoon merino wool mummy liner

• wool mattress pad from Holy Lamb Organics (code DRORGANICMOMMY)

• Lamb fleece Blankets from Holy Lamb Organics (code DRORGANICMOMMY)

• Wool Sleeping bags from Holy Lamb Organics (code DRORGANICMOMMY)  These are an investment but they will be passed along to my family members that have kids when my kids no longer need them. 

• A sleeping bag I’ve been loving is the Fjällräven Abisko Summer Sleeping Bag. It’s PFAS-free (which is rare for outdoor gear), super lightweight, and easy to pack. It’s less expensive than the wool but it’s more lightweight. It’s comfortable around 54°F but can go down to about 45°F if needed, so it works really well for summer camping or layering depending on your setup.

• Lucky Sheep Wool Sleeping bag

• *If you can’t get less toxic products, off gas in sun for a week.
