[pct-l] Base Pack weight

[Steve McAllister]

My opinions equals almost all light backpackers:

When people comment about my small pack weight, I just say "I need my
comforts".

If you are hiking 8 to 14 hours a day, it is much more comfortable and
enjoyable with a lighter pack.
How much comfort does heavy gear provide when your in camp? Not that
much. I would rather have the comfort when I am walking, because that
is what you do on a hike and that is when you really appreciate
comfort.
