[pct-l] [unprepared hikers]

[Ellen Shopes]

On the Bright Angel trail at Grand Canyon, I saw so many strange sights...I 
have a photo of a guy hiking with a plastic milk crate slung over his 
shoulders as a pack (he used a couple of pieces of webbing as shoulder 
straps).  All his belongings were packed into the crate, nothing on top to 
keep stuff from falling out.  Would have thought it could never work, except 
he was heading up the trail...

(Sorry, I have no internet link for how to construct your own milk-crate 
pack!)
