[pct-l] A backpack conundrum

[Greg Kesselring]

I'm not sure whether this email made it to the list yesterday, so I'm 
sending again...

You could go with a Gossamer Gear Mariposa or Mariposa Plus or Miniposa, 
all of which have carbon fiber internal stays, and all of which weigh 20 
ounces or less, including the carbon fiber stays.  All packs carry 
comfortably 25lbs or less, and many feel that they are comfortable up to 
30.  They should be able to carry bear canisters as well.
