- Hey, this is more like it, ... am I the only one here that lives by the
- 'if the pack has room in it then I don't have enough stuff yet' rule?
- Fortunately there's always some six-packs of beer around to toss into
- the irresistable emptiness of the top of my pack. I also highly recommend
- adding a lawn chair ... one bungie cord always holds it on just fine, and as
- you peel off warm clothing it's convenient to stuff it between the chair and
- pack. Beer and lawn chairs are NOT rarely used items, however, ...
- unless you're with a friend and you don't pay attention.
-
- Among rarely used items, it seems that the best candidate for that
- are all the extra clothes that I include just in case someone else
- didn't bring enough.
