Unlike last seminar, we are allowing for cold weather conditions and indoor accommodations. Please bring sleeping bags, mats, camp chairs (if desired), and two towels for personal use. You can even set up your tent inside. The weather can vary significantly in November so prepare for a 10 degree difference in temperature from the D.C. area in addition to winds.

Waivers: Upon registration, you will be sent two waivers. One is for the Farm, the other is for the event. These can be brought or returned via scan/email.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner will be provided Saturday;
Breakfast and Lunch on Sunday. Friday night is open grill. Snacks and fruit will be available in between meals. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please note them on your waiver.

Water: The property runs off of a filtered well. We will also provide bottled water. Fire Hazards: There will be designated smoking and campfire areas due to the

presence of hay, sawdust, wooden structures, etc...

Dousing: Well water is COLD! For a more natural experience, there is also a stream and a creek. Buckets will be available.

Alcohol: Due to the proposed intensity of training, we ask for moderation in alcohol consumption and that you stay on the property should you decide to drink. (The surrounding roads are heavily patrolled on weekends due to the number of wineries.)

GPS/WIFI/ Phone Service: AT&T cell coverage tends to be the strongest in the area. We have a WIFI network at the house if needed but most cell phone and Internet coverage doesn’t extend further.
GPS directions occasionally lead to an alternate road so we will provide directions for locating the end destination from main highways and towns.

Packing list: If you are unfamiliar with camping and/or Systema events, we can provide a sheet of recommendations. Several items you should include: Bug repellent (any/all forms), training knife, flashlights or lanterns, a long- sleeved jacket (for wind, rain, brambles, and bugs), shower shoes/ flip-flops, camera, and a

notebook.
Any other questions, feel free to call or email. We look forward to your participation!
