[at-l] Gear List



Okay, Tuckerizers, here's my gear list for my upcoming 10 day walk in the 
GSMNP.  Your comments criticisms and compliments solicited.  E.g., will this 
be enough clothes for the Smokies in July.  I expect I've got the weight down 
maybe to 30 lbs.  I'll weigh it soon.  I may be also taking 10 days food.
