This is taken from the HOGC website. I have made comments on some of the items listed. If you have them already--great, bring them. If you don't already have them, there are many of these items that are here at base for volunteer use, so don't run out and spend money on buying them new.
*Completed Volunteer Liability Waiver (if you can print this off the HOGC website and have it already filled out, terrific. If not, I will have copies for everyone.)
* Short-sleeved t-shirts (also, each volunteer gets a Hands On Gulf Coast t-shirt and there are other clothing items available for purchase)
* Shorts
* Work clothes (keep in mind they will likely be damaged)
* A flashlight or headlamp - in case of power outage or hurricane evacuation (optional)
* Towel (important)
* Personal hygiene and medical items (important)
* Tent (optional--I believe we will have the option of either sleeping indoors or out, and there are tents here if you would like to set up camp outside...more details to come on this topic)
* Your sense of humor! (important!)
Other things you may want to bring:

- Long-sleeved shirts for protection
- Jeans
- Work boots (these are available at base if you don't have them--a pair of tennis shoes that you don't mind getting dirty is fine for most jobs)
- Hat or cap (optional)
- Work gloves (these are also available at base if you don't have them)
- Sunscreen (probably a good idea)
- Eye protection (goggles are available at base)
- Sleeping bag (blanket and pillow will suffice if you don't have one)

Other things you may want to bring:
- camera
- some snacks for the long ride
- i-pod, Soduko puzzles, portable DVD player, books--things that might keep you occupied in the vans and at down times around base
- I'll add more as I think of things...
