Howdy Folks! OK. I can never find any decent gear lists for people intending to go jungle camping and traveling so I thought I should make one.
I will be traveling through Northern and Central Costa Rica for two weeks and then working/base-camping for two weeks and have been trying to ensure that I have everything that I need to be safe and comfortable.
In addition to the following gear, I intend to bring 3 pairs convertible quick-dry pant-shorts, 6 pairs Marino socks, 1 long sleeve vented quick-dry shirt, 1 medium weight base-layer shirt, and 4 button-up T-shirts.
More later!
