Re: [at-l] Final Packed List

Ya know, I think you carry as much weight section hiking as you do
thru-hiking. I don't know where the difference would be in what you take
with you.  We generally are out nearly a week when we section hike and that
is about when a thru hiker would hit another town or mail drop.
