I went on the WR eight years ago and loved watching your video! It reminded me of just how different each squad's experiences were. Our team always had closets, hangers, mirrors, and places to store our things while traveling. And my headlamp and water bottle were my MOST used items the entire year!! I 100% agree on the thermometer, sarong (SARONG > MICROFIBER TOWEL FOR SURE!) and that REI cocoon! I actually still use my sarong and cocoon when I travel even to this day. And "I wish I'd brought less stuff" is exactly how I felt at the end of the Race (going on the Race is what started my journey towards minimalism). Sending love from the PNW from a 3rd gen A squad alum!
Hi I am leaving on the world race in January. I have training camp in october and have some questions. On our packing list it says to bring conservative clothing but in every training camp video I have seen there have been girls in short athletic shorts and leggings. Are we allowed to wear those at training camp?
Hello! I don't know if you've been to training yet, but I just went to training camp a few weeks ago and I would say YES! You will need it just incase you get your phone back late and can't use the flashlight on it. Its also VERY helpful to have if you just want to chill in your tent before bed or if you wake up before sunrise! Hope this helps!
