[at-l] pack pick apart

[Phil Romans <promans@justice.loyola.edu>]

Alrighty...
	I will add my two cents to the jar.

Ditch the snake bite kit.  Couple reasons for this... one, is it the 
approved version of the kit?  My understanding was that there is only one 
approved kit which is a plunger thing.  
Second reason, hardly anyone dies from the vemon of the bite.  Most of 
them die from the reaction to the anti-vemon, or possiblly get an 
infection of the bite area.
Finally, have you ever been bitten by a snake and tried to cut out the 
area with a razor blade?  Most people would be trembling and cause more 
harm then good. 

Lets see... I think the two Polartech jackets are a bit much.  With the 
Capline/Coolmax, Goretex shell, and one Polartech, things will be very 
warm.  Go with the 200...

I can't think of anything else that hasn't been mentioned already...
