> EZ Access Items - Sunscreen, Bug Repellant, 2 Bandannas, Princeton Tec Au=
> rora Headlamp w/batteries (22.5 oz)
 
Look into the combo sunscreen/bug repellant by Avon. You can also go with a
lighter flashlight.
 
> Sleeping Stuff - pillow, sleeping clothes, eyeglass case, compression sac=
> k (13 oz)
 
In the past I've used a backpacking pillow sack and stuffed it with
jacket/clothes. However, with the new restrictions of having day wear in
the tent, I'm not sure where to go with this. Anyone on the list have an
idea? If you do take a pillow, get a backpacking one.
 
> Toiletries - 1/2 roll tp, 1 sm. bar of soap, 1 packtowl, 1 sm. toothbrush=
> , 1 sm. bottle toothpaste, 1 very sm. case of orthodontic wax (13 oz)
 
The crew will get tp as part of their crew gear. I still like to carry a
bit. Don't take the roll, though. Get some camp soap in a bottle and not
take the bar soap.
 
> Eating Gear - 1 lexan bowl, 1 lexan cup, 1 lexan spoon (6 oz)
 
This is what I carry, but I'm leaning toward ditching either the bowl or the
cup. I very rarely use both at the same time. Too much to juggle.
