Our recommended online training provider is Peak Performance Solutions. It is an external provider, so any issues with using the online training platform must be directed toward Peak Performance.

It’s up to you! However, we have some suggestions if you are really stuck.

Emergency meals (you should have at least one handy at all times):

• Ramen noodles

• Spare dehydrated meal

• Make sure you have lots of good nutrients in each meal to keep up your energy for the week
• Pack just a little more than you would usually eat and make sure to bring an extra meal just in case – it’s hungry work tramping!
• Don’t plan to eat dehydrated meals for the whole week. You’ll get sick of it and there is no need to pack lightweight/expensive meals for nights at the Cabins.
• Pack food you know you already like to eat and experiment with cooking it yourself before you arrive, so you know how it will taste and how much effort it requires

If the piece of equipment you’re unsure about is highlighted in grey on the gear list, we can provide it when you arrive if your gear is unsuitable.
If it is a compulsory item that is not highlighted, reach out to us and we might be able to help you decide if you need to buy a different piece of equipment before your journey. See more details about tramping boots specifically below.

Nope! We’ll help get you the right gear when you arrive.

If it is not a winter trip and you do not already own tramping boots, then no. Just bring a sturdy pair of worn-in trainers. This is not the time to break-in new boots as they are likely to cause foot pain and blisters. However, you might want to consider buying a pair of tramping boots and wearing them in before your next journey or especially a winter trip.

If this is a winter tramping trip, then you should own a pair and they should already be worn in before the start of the trip.

If you are bringing tents with you amongst a group, it is up to you to decide your preferred sleeping arrangement. However, we will separate tents by gender.

The tents that we can supply are 2-person, so you will likely be sharing a tent with someone regardless.
