We suggest LEFT OVERS! Enough for everyone to share and cook family style. Each Jeep is equipped with a refrigerator/cooler and SKOTTLE and most need cooking utensils. It’s great to heat up leftovers and all share together!
We also suggest a resupply run on the wait out to the trail and stop at a grocery store in Harrisonburg. They have great taco meal kits, or reheatable meals.
If you want to go all out here is an awesome YouTube channel with recipes for the SKOTTLE!

Terra Overland believes that a great outdoor backcountry adventure should be challenging. This includes roughing it, with the exception of this issue. We’ve tried several different “camping” toilets from fancy compost to a five-gallon bucket over the years, but last year at Overland Expo we found Thunder Box for after that morning coffee when nature calls! The box is not just for show, the Thunderbox in combination with our privacy shelters and bamboo toilet paper will make your trip more bearable.
If you want to take the train, you can get on Amtrak and take it to Charlottesville Virginia Train station. We will pick you up and drop you back off after your adventure.
If you want to fly and drive, we’ll pick you up at CHO Charlottesville Virginia Airport and drop you off after your adventure.
