Matt's Pack

If I must...

Alright, it's time for the inevitable:  "packing list post."  I tend to lean on the side of thinking I have too much.


However, everything I have packed is pretty much things I already had, and much of it old enough to not care too much about.  I simply put together things I like, and limited what I took.
