[at-l] Am I overpacking?

[askowronek at mindspring.com (amy)]

After a brush or two with being too cold and too wet in the past, I'm 
planning on taking more gear on the trail with me this year.  But it 
feels like a lot..

I'm swapping my Z-rest for a Guidelight 3/4 Thermarest, in case I have 
to sleep in a shelter.  The Z-rest does not do it for me on a hard 
floor.  I'm planning to swap the hammock tarp for one a foot longer, 
plus add an underquilt.  (The underquilt can be worn as a down poncho 
in camp.)  I'll be dropping the space blanket.  (Big whoop.)  I'll use 
my old quilt inside the hammock.  I may or may not bring an additional 
envelope to go around the quilt in bad weather.

I'm taking my same old shorts and beat up tshirt, and my powerstretch 
fleece top and bottom.  But I'm also sticking in a pair of duofold long 
johns and a synthetic turtleneck.

I'll have a turtlefur neckwarmer, mountain hardware liner gloves, a 
fleece hat, a waterproof ballcap, raincoat and rainpants, and maybe 
water resistant shell gloves.  And a fleece balaclava for bedtime.

Two pairs of wool socks, two pair of liner socks, and fleece socks for 
bedtime.

A windshirt, a lightweight fleece vest, and I think that's the sum 
total of my clothing.

Am I overdoing it on the "warm and dry" theme?  I'll hopefully be doing 
Springer to the north end of the Smokies starting April 2.
