This is a good list. You'll want to keep the long johns dry at all costs, so
you have something dry to change in to at the end of the day. You might add
a second pair of lightweight hiking shorts, for wearing in camp and in town,
and for hiking as the weather warms up. A pair of thick dry socks to sleep
in is nice. If it gets really cold, I use my down vest inside the foot end
of my sleeping bag -- stick your feet in the vest, then in the bag.
