[Philmont2007] Personal gear list - sending again

[Sharon Pelton Bowman]

Crews:
   
  At the last meeting there was a request for a recap of the Personal Gear list that Carolyn provided at the 9/27/06 meeting.  I have taken the Philmont Personal gear list (from the 2007 Philmont booklet that each of you should have) and have edited it based on my handwritten notes from the September meeting.  This list is intended for anyone that may not have been present at the early planning meetings and that still needs to purchase items before tomorrow's pack weigh-in.
   
  Please note that this list if for Personal Gear, do not confuse it with the list of Group Gear sent by Carolyn a few days ago.  The list excludes tents - I'm not sure if we are considering these as personal or group gear.  Likewise, it does not include water filters (I believe that everyone should have been issued one by now) or stoves...
   
  Hope the attached list helps...  Questions? - call me or ask an experienced backpacker at tomorrow's meeting.

Looks like my earlier message didn't go, so I'm sending the attachment text within this note.
