[at-l] OK, a gear list it is

["Kenneth R. Knight" <krk@home.msen.com>]

Here is what I am probably going to take on my section hike. Actually, 
this is a little out of date, but I don't feel like going through the 
hassle of cutting-pasting-and-editing-to-make-nice the current list. The 
Frogg Togg jacket and rain paints will almost certainly be removed and 
replaced with a Stephenson Poncho saving 8 ounces. I hesitate to say that 
the poncho will be in the "worn" category since it'll be hanging off the 
pack most of the time and I suppose that really means it does add to the 
pack's overall weight. 

This yields a pack weight of right around 23 pounds as I recall. Add a 
fudge factor in and that rises to 25 (things always get heavier). Skin 
out weight would be 31 pounds or so.

                                           weights          in pack /

*   Haven't weighed or plan to replace with different items
**  Almost certainly rise some. Pretty standard stuff in these.
*** I might get new socks and that would change these. I don't use liners 
with
    the Smartwools and have been eearing good thing about Bridgeable 
socks so
    I might give those a shot instead.
