[pct-l] Would you carry a extra 8 grams on your thru hike?

[Andrew Siemer]

Question - would a good monopod not possibly make a great walking stick?  On top of which your camera would happily sit?  Also, I always keep a table top tripod with me...which is capable of holding a full size DSLR with a small lens.  Just a suggestion!

But thats just me, I'm more interested in landscapes then taking my own pic. Besides I'm afraid of breaking the glass lens if I point the camera at self. I'm going to try carrying a gorillapod, you can wrap it around your pole and do the same thing or use a branch, rock, table, etc to set up camera. Ok you got me beat on weight by an order of magnitude but I think its much more usefull.
