Re[2]: [at-l] Gear list

Wasn't there a water bag in that list somewhere.  Blowing air into the water
bag and using that for a pillow works really well, too.  It can even have
some water in it, if it never leaks.  I used to use a bota bag for a pillow
by blowing it up to the desired firmness at night until I quit carrying a
bota bag.  anklebear
