“Do I have to make my clothes; should I borrow; or, where can I buy them?”
You can get your trek clothing by making them, purchasing (new or used), using hand-me-downs, or borrowing from past trekkers. Here are some links and resources for making a plan that works for you. Talk to your friends and parents and start collecting your clothing and other items now. Every person on trek will also need their own 5-gallon bucket.A full Supply List can be found at weststake.com.
