General Supplies
Our sites have cabins that fit ~8-12 people with mattresses (no bedding) and heating (not always powerful, but present), as well as bathrooms with showers and a main "tavern" building with a full kitchen. In general, when packing everyone will need to account for how they're going to eat, sleep, deal with the outdoors/weather, and stay safe on an out of game (OOG) level. When it comes to fulfilling those needs looking "In Genre" is nice, but your safety & wellbeing is more important.
