[pct-l] What To Take + Permits

[Kent Spring]

Hi -
I have to agree with Wildheart that most of the information that 
anyone wants in regard to hiking the PCT is laid out in a thoughtful 
and several sided manner in Yogi's Guides.  I am not as familar with 
the others, but would recommend spending a few bucks (in comparison 
with the total cost of the hike) on getting some of the BIG basics 
covered with the material that Wildheart has listed.  These guide-
books will raise new questions that the PCT-L will chew upon.
