Advice needed for a first timer
I’m getting into hiking/backpacking and have my first overnighter reserved for Saturday. I live 10 minutes from the ferry to Cumberland Island and have been there a few times but only the small no permit needed part with the touristy stuff. I really want to test myself so I reserved a primitive camping spot at Brickhill bluff, 10.5 miles from the ferry drop off. ferry leaves at 9, gets there around 10.
The campsite has a non potable water well, and because of the recent fires a few counties over there’s no campfires allowed for right now. I’m in good shape, do physical labor so I’m used to the heat and humidity and sweat lol.
Let me know if I’m lacking anything essential for a good first time
Gear
\-60L backpack
\- 1 person tent I’ve set up and packed back up a few times
\- inflatable w/ pump sleeping pad
\-warm weather sleeping bag
\- butane propane mini stove
\- freeze dried breakfast, and dinner, plus a few honey buns
\-grayl geopress water purifier
\-headlamp with red light
\-navigational compass , probably won’t need it, more trying to familiar myself with navigating using it with the island map. Watched a video for getting bearings and what not, have the instructions, understand the concept.
\-32 oz steel bottle
\-12 oz steel cup
\- phone , not sure I’ll have service
\-TP for my bunghole
\-little shovel
\- 1 copy Walden/ Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau
There’s water a few spots to refill along the hike to campsite.
What system should I use for night time food trash storage? Raccoon and wild horses
