[at-l] packing light...

With all this talk about list and the weight of individual items, I feel the
urge to repeat my often posted advice:

Always double check your FSO (From Skin Out) weight, from time to time.

Put on everything you will carry and wear when you step off from the trail
head.  Don't forget the knife, extra snickers bar, etc you will put in your
pocket, as you head out the door.  Then weigh yourself.  Next strip to the
skin and weigh yourself.  The delta is your FSO.

If your FSO is much above your list totals you have forgotten something, or
are fooling your self.  Bottom line, it doesn't matter if it is in your
pack, or in your pocket, you are carrying it and your feet, ankles, knees,
etc know it.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who responded to my question.
You have all given me some really great ideas for paring down my
shopping list for this hike.
