Folks planning on playing outside need to plan ahead a little. Here are things to bring:
1. Water. Always. Hydration is our friend.
2. Snacks. These might be optional if we are not going to be out long, but anything over an hour it is good to be prepared. I prefer non-squishable snacks like nuts or dried fruit or granola bars (or gel packets for endurance events), but careful people may manage to snack on bananas.
3. Hat. The sun is only sort of our friend. Too much is too much.
4. Sunscreen. See above.
5. Bug spray. This may not be necessary if you are staying in town, but really, life is better without mosquito bites.
6. ID. Just in case. I take my driver’s license, a credit card, and $20 when I hike, bike, or paddle.
Depending on what we’re doing, we might want a notebook or camera, extra clothes, a first aid kit, a towel, etc.
