It's so cumbersome and heavy ... I can't imagine that it's a good thing. <BR/><BR/>I am really looking forward to my trip -- ANd I hope you have a good trip too -- Jill.shawnkieltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414687355264886702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12244081.post-30825365350124242562007-04-29T11:24:00.000-07:002007-04-29T11:24:00.000-07:00Sounds like a great trip, Shawn.

I have a few more days to get ready. <BR/><BR/>I have the same tendency, to take to much, Panda. Once, on a trip in Europe I emptied about half of the contents of my pack into a garbage can. So I am trying really hard to plan to not bring too much on this trip, out of fear that I might have to throw something good away. <BR/><BR/>One of the things I am noticing is that you need just as much for one day as for ten, with the exception of food and fuel.<BR/><BR/>I'll be gone for five days, driving to Phoenix and back, backpacking just two days and one night. <BR/><BR/>I'll be um ... I am not sure what ... for the rest of the time. <BR/><BR/>I have all kinds of things to figure out, like how to not eat dehydrated mac and cheese. Or, should I bring my cell phone?shawnkieltyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414687355264886702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12244081.post-70934598146092841572007-04-23T08:38:00.000-07:002007-04-23T08:38:00.000-07:00I always pack way too much...that would barely be ...I always pack way too much...that would barely be 2 nights for me (I love my toys & can't bring myself to leave any of them at home!).
