Final Gear Check

Well, I fly tomorrow. The final gear check is in progress and I'm too darn heavy! My pack will be up near 40 lbs, with full food/water. I had hoped to be down in the 35 lb range, but I failed in that task. I have too many backups to backups....

5 lbs doesn't seem like much, but it adds up over 2175 miles!

I'll see if I can strip out a pound or two more, but I'll be hard pressed....
