Hi Anklebear!  (somebody I've actually met on the trail.  Small world 
that it is.)
(Actually, come to think of it, I've run into a lot of listers on the 
trail.  Baltimore Jack
repeatedly, though he never remembers me.  Datto, Leapfrog, Pittsburg, 
Detour..
it sure is nice seeing yall out there.)

I use my raingear, mostly the jacket parts.  I use my tall gaiters, my 
balaclava,
my hiking shoes, my headlamp, random articles of fleece, my hiking 
socks,
and my Z-rest.  In fact I keep a cut off portion of my Z-rest at work 
for kneeling
on the floor.

I don't wear my hiking shirt or shorts anywhere but the trail because 
they're just
too beat up.

I bet there are other bits I use that I've forgotten about, because I 
use them
so often I forget they're camping gear.
