[at-l] gear list for AT thru hike

[Gary Ticknor]

Clothing is not as exciting as most gear choices, but probably will 
affect your >>hike<< the most after footgear and pack weight. What 
clothing exactly, and what weights, item by item?

Also, when sending us gear weights, don't rely on the manufacturer 
(i.e., Cabella Eureka Zeus EXO Tent, carry weight weight 3-7) but rather 
weigh it yourself, as manufacturers are notorious for "estimating" way 
light. Weigh to the nearest ounce. Weigh everything, item by item, and 
don't estimate.

You will be spending all day hiking, up and down mountains. Big 
mountains. Weight (not money) will be constantly on your mind until you 
get it down. When you find yourself thinking about food all day instead, 
your pack weight is probably okay.
