I left out two:
(11) The Campmoor "Backpacker II" rain parkas for kids worked great and
neither kid minded wearing them. Also, they pack down into nothing, don't
weigh much, and don't cost a whole lot.
(12) Don't worry about sleeping pads much. Both kids ended up off the pad
and sleeping on gravel most nights. Anything more than a foam pad for
insulation would be overkill.
