6 things that shouldn’t leave your waist pouch in NYSC camp

While at the orientation camp, you join the thousands of new “recruits” to wear the compulsory all white outfit. Alongside the white outfit, you also notice almost everyone has a fanny pack clipped to their waist. It is quite necessary because at the camp, you tend to remain on the field throughout most of the day and some vitals need to be with you at all times. Here are 6 things that shouldn’t leave your waist pouch while at camp.

• Keys: You will be advised to lock your luggage for safety reasons once you’ve secured a spot in the hostel. ALWAYS carry your keys with you, never leave them under the pillow or with anyone else.
• Mobile phone: This easily gets missing in camp, so always have your mobile phone with you. You definitely need to communicate with your loved ones back at home and also your fellow mates at camp, so keep it secured in your waist pouch.
• Money/debit card: If no one told you, ATM machines may not be available in some camps. That’s why it’s vital to take as much cash as you can and where else should it be other than in your fanny pack? So your money and ATM card should always be in a compartment of your waist pouch to avoid stories that touch.
• Medications (if any): Campgrounds can be quite dusty, thus, if you’re asthmatic, never leave your inhaler behind. If you have other prescribed drugs that are scheduled for the day, be sure to also carefully wrap them in your waist pouch.
• Face towels: Ideal because you’ll mostly be out under the sun.
• A pen: who knows when the need to write something important will arise?
