[pct-l] tent idea

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

That tent claims to be 1.2 lbs and 3 man. That sounds a bit large for  
one person. You can have full mosquito protection and a roomy tent  
with a Gossamer Gear The One (what I had) or something similar. I  
tried The One and the Squall during my hike this year and thought The  
One was a more comfortable shape. Anyway, it sounds like a neat tent  
if you want to sleep 2. Mosquitoes probably would get in some nights,  
so you'd probably want to use a head net at the least.
