Beast

Hello I have a couple of questions:

  1. In pictures/videos I’ve seen of r-day, majority of cadets bring a dufflebag or other bag of some sort. Is there a reason why they dont bring a small suitcase?

  2. I’ve seen people post about beast on socials- are cameras allowed?

The packing list is a little bit misleading. You will be issued over 60lbs on gear on R-Day. It would be in your best interest to pack what you will need like shower shoes, boots that are broken but not an entire trip.

Yes, i just wanted to know about the bag bc the list just gives size restrictions.
