[at-l] Final Pack Weight

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

My base pack for a 10 day section (whenever it gets started) is 20 pounds and 
change.  Water and food for the first two days (Hummingbird and Dutch Treat 
are keeping a food bag til they shuttle me at Neels, but they don't know that 
yet) will make that 27 pounds leaving Springer.  The food bag swap (with the 
other 7 plus days of food and restocked water) will put me back up at 37 or 
38 pounds restarting Hogpen.  So we all sound like we're in the same 
ballpark.
