Weekend Kit List

This is the standard kit list for cadets attending field training exercises (FTX). Day hikes, ruck marches, and regionally run expeditions will typically have their own separate kit list which will be posted on the Facebook groups. 
As with any generalized kit list, common sense is key. If we're going on an FTX in January, bring extra warm clothing. If were going on an FTX in June, you probably won't need the thermals. 
Rain gear should be packed year round. 

  • 1x Heavy Coat

  • 1x Combats (FTU) or appropriate outdoor civilian clothing

  • 1x Rain Jacket and Pants

  • 1x Combat Boots (and polish) or appropriate civilian boots 

  • 3x Underclothing/Underwear

  • 3x Undershirt or T-Shirts 

  • 3x Wool Socks

  • 1x Tuque or equvilent 

  • 2x Thermal Wear/Sweaters

  • 1x Backpack/school bag. MUST have shoulder straps. No wheeled luggage backs or duffel bags.

  • 1x Flashlight

  • 1x Water Bottle

  • 1x Scarf

  • 1x Gloves

  • 1x Lip Balm

  • 1x Shaving kit

  • 1x Personal Hygiene kit (eg. Toothbrush/Toothpaste, Towel, Soap, etc...)

  • Pen/Pencil and Paper

  • Garbage bags (line the backpack with these, then put items inside the garbage bag that is inside your pack, it waterproofs your kit from rain)
