Some notes we made about the stuff we brought and things we ought to have brought. I think we did fairly well inasmuchas the only thing we ran out of was dental floss.

Gear hits
- Mocassins (but do they make the with GoreTex soles?
- Sportiva trail runners dried faster than quick-dry pants
- MSR Mug mates: most compact coffee filter we could find

Gear misses
- Cherokee Chemun canoe pack. Nice design. Cheap construction
- Whisperlite stove. Did a meal go by where we didn't have to simmer something?
- Double layer Ziploc bags. Get air or water in between the layers and you can't get rid of it without wrecking the bag.
