Becca and Brian-
What? no cotton? Sounds like you will be doing laundry every night. Quick-dry clothing doesn't absorb the smell as well as cotton, right?
Anyway, sounds like you got everything covered. I am amazed at the smallness of your packs.
Keep the blog going! I enjoy the reading and living vicariously through you guys...
