[at-l] Packing in the rain

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

This can also be very similar to packing and getting going when it is real
cold and your sleeping bag and bladder are competing for your attention.

You get dressed and pack your gear from the confines of your tent, as best
as possible. You put on your rain gear, climb out of the tent and take the
tent down. Pull the backpack out of the collapsed tent. Stuff your tent and
pegs into their stuff sack or fold it as tightly as possible and hang on
the back of your pack - keeping really wet stuff out of your backpack.
Throw the rain cover on, assume your position with the backpack and start
trudging along in the gully that is known as the AT.

The sooner you get moving, the sooner you get warm.
