3 or 4.  Cotton is fine if he can layer them in cooler weather.  Or a
good cloak.  Rain gear is a good idea.  No one gripes if you wear
modern rain gear when it's pouring. (Especially if you're helping
others <G>)

At least three. One to wear, one to change into when the first gets
wet, one for when the others get torn <G>  Heavy cotton, denim, canvas
is what I tend to use.

Air mattress or camping pad.  Emergency blanket reflects heat,  but
supplies no insulation or padding.
He'll need a good ground cloth (tarp) under the tent, and might want a
second tarp to go over the tent if there's a lot of rain.

As much as he can afford <G> LOTS of neat stuff at the merchants row.
Meals are available on site @ $5 per meal.  Ice @ $2 / 8lb bag.
If you bring your own food and drink, you can get by on very little,
but why would you want to? <G>
