[pct-l] tent help!

[Stephen Adams]

Yes the rain shell or parka is a good idea too, but I didn't have any problems when I got stuck in some rain once without a shelter at Tower Lake and used my garbage bag over my bag from the bottom and my rain shell parka over my top half.  Granted it wasn't heavy downpour, but for the few hours it rained on and off I was fine, just kinda pissed at myself for hanging myself out there like that.         
Being early season I was able to go back a couple weeks later and climb over Tower Pass and Tower Peak snow free, but I felt like a dumb ass, and you bet I packed my bivy back in there with me.
