[at-l] Backpacker Gear Guide 2000

[DaRedhead@aol.com]

Anyone else get theirs in the mail yesterday?  Hard to believe it's been a 
year since the last one :)

It is always interesting to look at your gear and see how it rates next to 
all the rest.  And how the gear they list stacks up to the comments about it 
on this list <g>.  If you don't subscribe, make sure that you go out and buy 
this issue.  I've still got the past 5 years gear guides, and it's a nice 
handy reference to have.

For all you Rucksters - have fun.  We're getting more snow this weekend, and 
into next week.  I'll go outside occassionally and stand it in and think of 
you guys.  I'll probably put all my hiking gear on and go walk around the 
neighborhood just to feel more a part of it.  We expect full reports and lots 
o' pics.  

Let the fun begin. (and the indigestion - I hope you all are taking lots of 
rolaids for after the chili contest <vbg>.)
