[at-l] Light weight. Does it end on the trail?

Jan -

I could not have said it better myself.

Vacations are supposed to be relaxing.  Many are not.  Backpacking is for me. 
 So I selfishly take a couple of weeks a year and relax.  The rest of my 
vacation time and life I take care of the others in my life who are very 
important to me (wife, daughter, 2 cats, Dad, brothers, uncles, aunts, 
cousins and nonhiking friends).

I can get by with considerably less stuff than I have (and that's a good 
thing to know about oneself - self reliance is a good thing).  It's all those 
other folks that can't.
