I am hoping to do a mild horse camping week in the Sierras in August. Not a pack-in, there is a horse-friendly base camp run by the park service with some permanent pens and room to set up one's own as well. High lining is probably not an option. Grazing would probably be forbidden close to camp.
It has pit toilets, picnic tables, but no treated water (a creek is all).
I don't have a portable pen myself, am going to try to borrow one just in case (it is first come first served). Also going to bring a 50 gallon barrel of water from home.
My question: is there something you yourself find indispensable or just darn useful that I should make sure not to forget?
This time around I am investing in a solar shower and a really decent camp chair. I'm at sea level and the camp is at 7,600'. I'm wondering if I should also invest in a blanket for my unacclimated horse.
I'll be sleeping in a tent and have a car-camping type kitchen with me.
