Well fed artesian water at the Little Harbor camp area, good for cooking etc. Also a cold shower. Bring a solar shower, for warm water shower, as long as the sun is out! Camp site Ranger has wood, propane, batteries, etc. Bring as much ice as possible, fillet knives and ziplocks for all your huge WSB, Halibut, and Yellowtail fillets! Wish I could join you, have fun, extra batterie for your handheld VHF is a good idea. TL Rhino

Oh damn, I've got my own tent.
And the Conga line starts behind T-man, he asked first.

Does Cat know it's going to be invaded?

Ah T-man, you know how I like that cactus juice!!! It is going to be a colorful invasion to be sure!
Grego that is just the nature of the beast, from my past experience with these sorts of trips.
If you guys need any secret spots close to camp, you better stop by and visit me at the Fred Hall show this weekend in Long Beach. My 3:15pm seminar both Saturday and Sunday is on Camping and Mothershipping Catalina and the Channel Islands, go figure! Good luck out there, be safe and have a blast! I know you will too! TL Rhyno1

Since ice will be difficult to keep the filets... and cervesa'a for up to 3 days... should we plan on blocks instead of cubed or crushed? Just Wondering...

I also have a two person tent that I could share if needed, it is a nice Mountain Hardware conversion tent... it will sleep three, but only if I know you better!

it is the four seasons of tents... no pun intended...

Who all will be bringing stoves that they are willing to share so that we do not have 30 different stoves? I have one, but did not know if I should bring it or not.

Does anyone have information on 12V solar chargers for VHF, batteries, etc?

I have never been on a trip like this, so I am just trying to be prepared, as you can tell I have lots of questions...

.

Thanks in advance!

Opportunity favors the prepared!

I believe there are fire pits and fire wood for sale. The stoves wont be too important except for coffee or some instant food.

If you are making fresh food meals, cutting board, your knife, a pot and frying pan. If you will go the Boyardee (MRE's) way, single pot will do. Dump foil packs in hot water or just re-heat.

I have no idea how to keep fish in a trip like this. Would appreciate advise. Dont think the ice in the cooler thing will work out for three days.
