KOSH 2025 Packing List

KOSH 2025 Packing List commentary

  • Solar Charger(current prime day deal) I leave this on the wing all day and it charges my battery enough to keep my phone charged. I have two batteries, one charging and one I carry during the day. There are charging stations in the camping area.
  • Prop Towel Clamps: heavy duty clothespins to clamp towel to prop for drying during the day.
  • Umbrella: primarily for shade.
  • Water Shoes: In case it rains, in the shower and when the grass is wet.
  • Suction Cup Shower Head Holder The shower heads are kitchen sink strainers. This along with a rubber band makes it more like a real shower. One is probably enough between us.
  • Food: There’s a Aldi and a Target close
