Without spending a lot of time on personal details, I am about to endeavor on my first Ultra Beast in the great state of NJ. There is a large community of UB veterans, such as our very own War Paint Waldo, and a slew of competent folks in the dedicated UB Facebook pages that have offered a ton of advice for gear. We have even published a fantastic article here on some Must Haves for any Ultra Beast. With a little more focus, I would like to detail out some of the things that I have packed in my Ultra Beast gear list.
