A season 1 sleeping bag is sufficient, and a sleeping bag liner is a good idea to cater for all climates.

composting toilets. They are also raised above the ground

and rice husks are provided for sprinkling onto the matter in order to stop any smells and

help the composting. For ladies, sanitary disposal is
