Packing for PALM

Each bag must be under 40 pounds!

Please use duffel bags – they pack well on the trucks. Wheeled suitcases are not recommended. Be sure to put your sleeping bag in a waterproof bag. Pack clothing inside resealable plastic bags.Attaching a durable, unique “flag” on your bags – such as one made from duct tape or fabric – can make the task of locating your bags easier. You may also consider using a GPS tracking device.
You must load your own bags on the truck. Staff volunteers cannot load them for you. Trucks open at 7 a.m. and close at 9 a.m. Do not leave your bags on the ground near the truck.Do not tie bags or other items together.
