I agree with Pooombah. As a person who has been lurking and would like to thru-hike the trail upon retirement, I also would like to know what experienced thru-hikers used and did not use in their packs. I would be most interested in hearing what items were thought to be indispensable at the outset only to be discarded later. By the time I retire, my bones will need as much help as possible. Jim Owen: Keep up the marvelous discussions. Your philosophy, outlook and experiences really add dimension and style to this list. Thank you. Jeff McClintick ajlmsi1@peabody.sct.ucarb.com
