As we packed our gear today in preparation for leaving in a few days these words were said to us, "So, you're really going to do this?". My mom has a way with phrases. She always gets one in when you least suspect it. I blame it on the fact that she has been substitute teaching kindergartners lately.

The next one she said though was a classic mother thought, "So, are you going to wear the same thing every day, day after day?" This was a reaction to the tiny stuff sacks we had our "spare" clothes in. No, we have a change of clothes.
Next came the big one, "Are you taking a change of underwear?" Leave it to moms to worry about the important things.
With the exception of a cotton t-shirt that will double as a towel when drying off after bathing, (yeah you read that right), all of our extra clothing fits into a 5 inch diameter bag that is about a foot long. Total weight is about 4 and a half pounds, including the stuff sacks. I think my clothes weighed 2 pounds 8 ounces and Dave's were 2 pounds and an ounce or so.
Fully packed, these stuff sacks will double as pillows at night. Living the good life.
