Some Things to bring with you to LaVonne's Fish Camp
Clothing - should be comfortable and in layers
- Plan to dress in layers! Headgear, foot wear, and gloves need to be wind and rain proof,
warm and comfortable. Jackets with hoods are a must! The weather can vary from 35oF
to 80oF in a 24-hour period. Polypropylene long underwear and Gortex outer wear works best. The rain is usually
wind driven
so good rain gear is essential for warmth in the Arctic. However, should you be here on a
freaky hot
day of 75 to 80 degrees, bring shorts and a swimsuit along for the momentous occasion.
Other things to bring with you
 | Sunglasses (have good UVA & UVB
Blockers C as the tundra and ocean waters can be
quite bright and hard on the eyes)
|
| Eye covers or eye mask (if you think you will have
problems getting to sleep in the 24-hour daylight)
|
| Mosquito repellent, spray type for clothes and roll-on stick or creme for face (There’s lots of
Mosquitoes when the wind stops blowing; early June to middle July they are at their peak.
If they really bother you, buy an inexpensive head net or a treated jacket.)
|
| Binoculars (makes watching birds and possible moose, caribou or musk ox
much more interesting)
|
| Over-the-counter and/or prescription drugs (Kotzebue does not have a
drug store - it has a Public Health Service hospital for emergencies - OTC drugs are sold
in three small grocery stores in town with limited selection.)
