The lodge will be supplied with dish soap, bleach, and cleaning supplies.  There are mattresses, pillows, duvets and bedding supplied. Please do not bring sleeping bags, as these are bulky and take up room in the helicopter.

Pack food in cardboard boxes, do not bring coolers. Make sure that food boxes are packed efficiently. Groups often want to fly in half full food boxes. While this may be easier for organisation, there simply isn't room in the helicopter.
