[at-l] planning for a thruhike

[Amy Forinash]

I was rereading Frank and Victoria Logue's thruhike planning guide  
last night.  It was written around 1990.  Wow, things have changed in  
the last 20 years.

Things I noticed:  Overmountain Shelter was described as "Yellow  
Mountain Shelter".

They didn't mention alcohol stoves at all in the stove section.

They recommended you carry "no more than 4 pounds of tent per person".

External frame packs were still the more common ones.  With all the  
gear they were carrying, our super lightweight frameless or minimally  
framed packs wouldn't even have been an option if they were available.

Food was still the same though.  :)
