Maker Camp Prep 2026

So I guess to get right into it, as I said, it's gonna be short and sweet.

[laughs] Um, so what we were looking at was, like, what kind of gear and stuff do you need through- throughout your days, like, doing the classes and stuff? Um, for the most part, for most days...

Well, to go into most of the tents, safety glasses are required.

So if, to go in the blacksmith tent, um, most of the metalworking tents that, that are out there, like, safety glasses are a must.

Um, the other thing with that is, I don't know that it's required, but it's a really good idea to have some sort of hearing protection.

I carry a set of molded ones I get through, through my work.

Um, I carry a set of-

That's more, that's more personal responsibility.

Uh, yeah.

That's, that's more-

But, I mean, you will be told any tent you go in, you must have glasses on, safety glasses.

Yes.

And that, that's-

And-

... that's where I'm at.

Like, the glasses are, the glasses are mandatory.

Hearing protection is, is just a really good idea 'cause it's long days, and if you're around anvils or grinders and all that kind of stuff, it's, it's a good idea to, to have some sort of hearing protection with you while you're there.

Uh, getting back to the safety glasses, I bring my own.

I do, too.

As do, as do a lot of people.

They do have glasses there if you happen to forget them or lose them.

Oh, okay.

Um, but I would not rely on, on a, a freebie pair of glasses to be there.

They may run out.

People may grab them.
