Personal Equipment Need List
This past week, you have been given an equipment list identifying several pieces of clothing and equipment you will need for your coursework. Using this equipment list, your book, and the discussions we have had in class, please respond to this post (by clicking on the "comments" link below and to the right) and list out the pieces of clothing and gear you already own, and then identify each piece you will need in the next few weeks as we prepare for your expeditions. Also identify where you will research and look for each piece of gear you need. This is due before class on Friday, September 12, 2008.
