Kit List - Equipment

Things to Think About

We have outlined below a rough guide to the kit you will need for Rally. However please also consider the following:

  • SSAGOes to Space Rally is being held in the Northeast in November and that means it's likely to be quite chilly and/or wet, so please make sure that you bring some warm things and working waterproofs to wear!
  • It is best to pack your kit in a rucksack or sports bag that you can carry on your back. Suitcases are not suitable for tents, and even less suitable for muddy fields!
  • Please label all items with a name to aid us in reuniting any lost property!
  • If you don't have anything on the list, make sure to talk to your club about this and they should be able to help! Or pop a message in the #space-chat channel in the SSAGO Discord Server to see if anyone else can help.
  • The list below is not exhaustive, so please use your own knowledge and experience to pack accordingly.
