Gents,
We are less than a month away from NOGOA and very excited to have this event. It should be one of the most unique events we have had to date and we look forward to pushing the limits on this one!
Please read everything as its all very pertinent especially the links (they will open in new window)
Packing List
Packing list can be found here. Notice, there are no bricks! We don’t have much outside of the normal items that most of us probably already have. Just take note. You don’t HAVE to bring this entire list however this was put together by our Lead Cadre so I would bring as much as possible.
We will order maps for the event so we can all standardize. If you want a separate map please feel free.
Training
Reboot will be working on training items this month that should help with getting ready for NOGOA. Training is fairly simple though. Ruck, Ruck, Ruck. Get used to rucking on anything but concrete – we wont see much of it out there. I would also recommend squats, lots of them. As you can imagine we will have a great deal of elevation change, your hamstrings/quads/glutes will thank you for the squats at the event.
Gear Night/HDHH
When: Wednesday, July 23rd @ 630pm
Where: Great Outdoor Provisioning, Park Road Shopping Center
GOP will be hosting us to his humble abode, Great Outdoor Provisioning, on July 23rd at 530pm. There will be discounts (20% off single item, recommendations per the packing list, and everything you might need to get ready including some class training on map/navigation training, knot tying, etc.
Start Time/Location
Our start time is still TBD but we are likely looking for 1900 hours launching at Davidson River Campground. We will organize all transportation prior with team house or central location/parking and then go from there.

We are looking into a team house for any that are interested. It might or might not be launch/endex. If you know of any rentals within a few miles of launch, please contact us to see if we can utilize as a team house.
