Heres my short list.
1. tent or camper of some description
2. cooking gear and food
3. bed roll and or cot
4. umbrella ===highly recomended
5. whatever you want to drink, the twin oaks boys offer sodas and water but why walk all the way from camp for a drink of water
6. towels and so forth for shower
7. comfortable shoes. no shuttles here
8. trade goods wood rock steel finished goods whatever I usually have a few trades worked out ahead of time
9. cash there will be vendors galore
10. trade goods
11. if you are like me a bow and lossa spare arrows
12. oh and did I mention trade goods, I always seem to be hauling more back than I took with me.
 

If I missed anything feel free to add just be realistic.

Camera and video recorder.  No way you can ever remember what all you saw if you don't get pictures to look at later.
If staying any length of time, all the ice you can bring to keep your drinks and food cold.
And from what I have heard, but not witnessed yet thank goodness, a good rain jacket and rubber boot.
Flash light an batteries.  The bottom can get pretty dark between 4 in the morning and 6 am.

Brilliant Matt!
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Bring some staves and tools.  Some of the best bowyers in the country will be there.  Why not get some free advice and help while you are there.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Twin Oaks purchased a new ice making machine so we should be able to handle all your ice needs.   :D

Abo kit for flint knapping at the sprit station
Bloodroot to trade cracker for stave if he makes it out of camper
Iowa crap rock for Will to knap
Extra points to give to Pat B for helping my son (the older one) make a bow (or others)
