The correct answer to the poll

Is 18. I don't know whether to be encouraged that only 2 of you thought I went commando, or discouraged that I'm that predictable.

The breakdown:

• 4 socks (two pairs)
• 3 pairs of long-johns
• 1 REI hiking pants
• 1 Rain pants
• 1 underwear
• 2 boots
• 3 long-sleeved tops
• 1 REI Hiking Shirt
• 1 down jacket
• 1 goofy hat (ubiquitous)
