Bob -
I don't think so - that's your job now.

A short story - when I started the AT, we pulled into in Dahlonega late at 
night and stayed at a motel.  When I got up the next morning, the first 
thing I did was to empty the pack and re-Tuckerize it.  I dumped almost 7 
pounds of stuff that I never missed after that. And I'd spent over a year 
planning what I was gonna carry out of Springer.  The last minute 
self-Tuckerization was prompted by fear - the fear that if I carried all 
that crap, it would be the straw that broke my thruhike.  Sometimes, when 
the rubber meets the road we get smart enough to do what we know is right 
for us - which is NOT usually the same as what's right for anyone else.

Walk softly,
Jim
