Over the years in the SCA, I’ve come up with a few event “must have’s”. These are those little things that you never knew you needed until you ended up at an event and you, or someone you know, ends up looking for. Some of these things maybe “Duh”, but it’s always good to have a checklist before heading out the door.
Wallet with SCA Card
Cash and /or checkbook (for those all important shopping sprees!)
Pen/paper
Tissues/handkerchief
Pain meds
Allergy meds
Any prescription meds you may need (ex., asthma meds)
Cell phone (fully charged!)
Comb/brush
Sewing kit (can be as simple as a bobbin of thread and a needle!)
Knife/corkscrew/utility tool
Mirror
Safety pins
Band-aids
Lipbalm
Hand cream
Hand held crafts (lucet, knitting, crochet, etc)
Duct Tape
Sunscreen
Ponytail holders
Bobby pins
Nail file
Here’s some additional items/ideas to have as suggested by other SCA members:
Protein bars
Cup or mug
Trash bag (or even one of those many plastic shopping bags we all have!)
Something to sit on
Towel
Battery operated “candles”
Bug spray
And most importantly:
Directions to AND from the site!
