Hey, it's a February thing, which usually hangs over into March and even 
April.  It's cabin fever.  I, too, hope we'll soon start seeing real debates 
about gear, schedules, trail conditions -- the stuff that MAY help the class 
of '01 when they hit the trail.

On that note, I've just added two gear-related items on my <A 
HREF="homestead.juno.com/roy.robinson/Main.html">website</A>.  Those who are 
interested in going lightweight and/or homemade might take a look at:

Poncho Plans -- Instructions for making a poncho/tarp tent that weighs less 
than 10 ounces.

Gear List -- In Brian's Triple Crown section.  His basic pack weight is 19 
pounds right now on the winter-time AT, and he will get it down to 12 or 13 
pounds as weather improves and he hits the hiking season on the PCT.  Here's 
what he's carrying.

Less than 60 days till the ADZPCTKOP!
