Packing for a hike is a puzzle. I personally think it
is great fun. You have hiking memories attached to (or
about to be attached to) everything you put in your
pack. Packing for any other kind of trip usually
involves packing lots of clothing that you have no
emotionaly attachment to. I think this is why the
hike-pack and the trip-pack are so different.
