[at-l] pack list - thanks!

Hi everyone,
   Thanks for all the replies to my post about my pack list!  I think
I will bring les pots. I'd go for the titanium, but my partner already
thinks I'm weird for caring about ounces :) ALso, as a student, I
don't have much money....and it's all going to be saved for hiking :)
   About the pack- I know it's heavy, but I'm short, so I really don't
fit into most packs. ANd I like it :) It's teal, like everything else
I own seems to be....
   I know the tent is heavy, but it's my partners, so I'm not going to buy
a new one. I guess I'll just have some emergency money in case she bails
and i'll buy a lighter one real fast.
   I think I also might get a smaller lighter flashlight.
   I had a question about the sleeping pad though. I have the short one
and as I'm kinda short, I don't mind it too much comfort wise, but I am 
a little worried about getting my down sleeping bag wet and dirty. Do 
any of you down sleeping bag owners carry a small tarp to put underneath
you while sleeping in shelters? I move around a lot in my sleep, so getting
the longer ridgerest won't help with that much...
   And, no, once and for all, I cannot bring myself to go underwearless.
Just don't want to. I don't care how much you guys enjoy it! (After the 
post about how to make a halter top with a bandana, I saw a great new
area for Victoria's Secret to expand into - backpacking lingerie!!!:)
   Oh, and I'm going to try to take the heavy camera, until I get sick
and tired of carrying all that extra weight. BUt I want to try, because
I really like taking nice B&W pictures...
   Thanks again for all the advice, I really appreciate it! I've learned
a lot from this list! But I have to unsubscribe for the summer, since 
I'm moving and working at an internship, where I will probably have to
learn to live w/o the internet! I know it will be hard, but i'll try....
Have a great summer, with lots of hiking and backpacking!!!
