[pct-l] digital scales!

[Lenny Leum]

Just had to put a plug in for digital scales here.  I went and picked up the cheepest 5lb digital scale I could find at Staples today for about 30 dollars.  Then I went through every little thing in my pack and weighed it out, definitely some surprises.  Well over half a pound of containers and stuff sacks!  And not that it was too much of a surprise, but those damn size 17 shoes, hahaha, almost two and a half pounds of newbalance (but can you believe it, I got them for 20 bucks at Ross, I went there and they had a million size huge newbalances, what the hell, I can't even find these at normal stores?!?!?!  Oh yeah, Diane, goto Ross, you might get lucky!).  I was able to get rid of about 2 pounds just of junk that I didn't realize was weighing me down.  It's not even about pinching 10ths of ounces (although you can if you want to get crazy), it's about actually realizing what you are carying.  It's just smart, it helps you to be smart.  Alright,
 I'll leave it at that.  Good luck with your preparations and get a little cheepo scale!Lenny
