[pct-l] Shelter Stakes

[Sean Mahoney]

Minor typo correction: http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/  Thanks
for yet another great tip, Switchback. :)  MLD's eVENT Rain Mitts are
also awesome (only 34 grams for a large pair).  Combine 'em with a
pair of PossumDown gloves (39 grams for a large pair) and you're set!

This is like I do at the April Kickoff when I paint hiker's shelter stakes at the Pirate's Lair (strangely no one asked me to do that this year).
