Generally speaking, if we don't take it to Bamfield, you won't find it there!
The Equipment List is divided into a) stuff we always take, and b) items we take "on request" (if someone wants them for a project).
Items in light grey are not taken (but are there as a reminder).
Below you'll find a list of some of the things you can measure with all this stuff.
Gas cards for rental vehicles
Maps for rental vehicles
Knot ropes
Knot sheets
