I'll bet most of you have trip checklists that you go by when packing. It might be fun for everyone to see everyone ELSE's checklist. Might even help each of us to refine his or her own checklist of gear.

Let's say, for a weekend plus a week plus a weekend, for a total of a 9-day trip. Just a LIST, not an explanation of WHY each item was chosen.

I'll start: (when I pasted this list into this post, it was in two neatly organized columns--but I checked a preview...and apparently it's going to come out as ONE column...with all the 'catagorization' gone...sorry) It might make more sense when viewed in it's original format, here:

To roam and prowl
Should shave before
