The kit
Every cabin has a standard kit. This page tells you what that kit is, so you don't bring a second Dutch oven or forget the thing we never stock.
Seasoned rounds in the shed, kindling bundle on the hearth, long matches in the tin.
10" skillet minimum. Most cabins also have a 12" and a 5-quart Dutch oven. Seasoned, ready, don't wash with soap.
In a labeled wood box by the door. Instructions inside the lid. Replace in the box when you leave.
A bound notebook. Read it if you want. Add an entry if you want. You won't be the first.
Laminated, up to date. The access road, the nearest town, and the closest emergency meetup point are all circled.
How the stove works, where the water shut-off is, what the breaker panel (if any) does, who owns the place and what they care about.
In the shed. Eight-pound maul, two steel wedges. Gloves on the shelf above. Split what you burn, plus a little.
Refreshed every spring. Bandages, gauze, tape, butterfly closures, tweezers, an epi pen (we check the expiration), a SAM splint.
Enough to cook three real meals a day for the cabin's max capacity. If you need something specific (a good knife, a grater that actually works, a pepper mill), bring it. The cabin kit is honest but average.
Every cabin has a workbench, usually in the shed. This is what you'll find on one. The hooks are labeled; if you use a tool, hang it back where it was.
Bench layout — same general arrangement at every cabin, varies by shed size. Tools hang on the pegboard, consumables and boxed items on the bench.
