\"IMAG0045\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For whatever reason, I never sleep well the night before I leave on a trip.  I’ve been up since 5am, tossing and turning.  I’ve had nothing really to do before I leave this afternoon.  My pack is set: tent, food, flask, clothes, etc. etc.  I’ve got a brand new list of “backpacking” must haves that I put together for this trip, mostly based upon what I naturally throw in my pack, with additions from Ian’s list (located here: http:\/\/iansteiner.com\/static.php?page=backpacking_list<\/a>).  I’ll be putting together my own, much more comprehensive list and posting it up later.<\/p>\n

I feel like I’ve over-packed for this trip, like normal.  I take the BSOA motto of “always be prepared” to new heights.  But this time around I’m making a small stand: I’m taking one -less of the basics than I normally think<\/em> I need to take.  For this 4-day trip, I’d normally take two pairs of hiking pants and 4 shirts and 4 pairs of socks.  I’m going to try to get by on one pair of pants, 3 shirts, and 3 pairs of socks.  <\/p>\n

This is a big deal to me.  The extra pairs are still sitting out, staring at me.  My only concern (as always) is over-sweating, which renders a shirt useless for a day while it hangs off my pack to dry.  As long as we don’t have horribly rainy weather, it’ll be just fine.<\/p>\n

It’s only four days… that should be enough… right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
