[pct-l] Hiker list not attached?? here's one

[pbaily at webuniverse.net (Philip Baily)]

Some things that I did not explicitly see on the list that I think should
be there:
Dr. Scholl's Moleskin
Dr. Scholl's Lamb's wool
Band-aids, any brand
Insect repellent (High DEET content)
Balance bars (or other 40/30/30 bars, a must for diabetics)
Alcohol swabs
Hiking socks (?)
Instant oatmeal (small packages)
Dried fruit (without nuts)
Dried Italian-style salami
Boot laces
White gas (Coleman fuel)
