When it came to packing for a 2-week long boot camp, I used to get worried about how could I pack all these things into one bag or two. We usually think of packing “everything” with us in case we might need something, more rather than less. But we forgot that we won’t ride on our car, and most important, we must carry our gears on our own weight.
The given packing list sure not includes all things that I personally need, plus I prefer not to carry too much. I have learned in the hard way: Quick, Less and Efficient are the key words. I will show you some tips that I also do for myself here below:
1. An Empty Luggage
I’d like something that I can put things organized in place. Luggage is like a small mobile shelf that enables me to get what I need right away, not need to dump all the stuff out of a green bag just searching for a…shirt!?!
Plus, you can use it as a secure box for your valuable items such as laptop, iPod, etc. when you’re out for fun training. Don’t forget a small lock!
2. A Small Crate that could be fixed in the luggage
This crate is used for your toiletry kit, keep things organized.
3. Carry Essentials with you
Conserve space and avoid wrinkles by rolling your clothes.
Military trick. Fold shirts in haft the long way then roll them up tightly like rolling a burrito. Then your undergarments and such…
4. Bring some extra Ziploc and couple of hangers.
I’d like to pack anything liquidity in Ziploc such as sunscreen, personal hygiene, etc. Put Shampoo/Conditioner, Body Soap, Face Wash, Toothbrush and Toothpaste in one Ziploc. You can get travel size from drugstores for less than $1.
You can rearrange the combo for your needs, like hairspray, facial products, etc. The purpose for this is that you think ahead of what you will be using/doing so when it comes you just pick the combo Ziploc out and go.
**Remember you will be sharing the bathroom with everyone else, so this helps you saving your time.
Hangers for wet towels and/or shirts
5. Last but not least, don’t forget a few remedies for unexpected ailments and accidents
Band-aids, Immodium, Tums
Supplements, vitamins, Tylenol, airborne.
6. The rest (sleeping bag, running/shower shoes, green blouses/trousers, other gears, etc.) you can stuff them all in the green bag.
Optional: a small backpack of snacks 🙂
Now, you are ready to go with all the necessaries for a HARD and HOT training.
