====== Packlist ======

Below is a list of stuff you may want to bring with you to a Gathering. Not everything will apply to you, and there might be stuff missing. Some things are called out as more "nice to have" rather than "need to have". If you're feeling really fancy, a good idea is printing the list, and checking everything off twice: once when you've confirmed you have the thing, and a second time when you've packed it.

(NOTE: will add to-do list and refnotes plugins later that makes this render pretty)
