Back in the day the boots needed breaking in. Now, not so much . . .
I wonder....do guys really need to bring anything other than paperwork? I look at the photo posted above and it seems that there is so much "stuff" in those back packs. What could a guy really need to bring besides paperwork and perhaps a razor (or is even that supplied)? Someone posted to bring toothbrush and toothpaste but I would "guess" that that too is supplied. So 2018, 2017, and 2016 what REALLY did you need to bring as a BASIC?
For girls...my understanding is that they need to bring sport bras. IMHO 4-5 of these would not take up much room. If they need more, perhaps they can have M&D ship more to a sponsor for Doolie day out? Or are the Basics not allowed to bring back anything from Doolie Day out? Extra underpants perhaps too but again they don't take up much room. Shampoo/conditioner? What do girls really need beyond the above + paperwork? If it were me, I'd go as LIGHT as possible. IF you are already in CS, and 2016, 2017 and 2018 response with more specifics....ship the extras home on Wednesday.
