[at-l] Re: gear lists

Hiya

Just completed my pack list. Pack comes to 45lbs which is about 5 lbs
heavier than I want but we'll see if I can shave anything off before I
go. I haven't hiked the AT yet (leaving late March / early April) so
this is untested, but the weight is about normal for hikes I've done in
the White Mtns in late summer / early fall. The gear list was developed
by using this list (thanks all!), the AT Workbook, and a bunch of web
sites, as well as the input of friends.
