[pct-l] ULA upgrade

[Halfmile]

Mark,
I carried a Catalyst for 10 weeks of section hiking in 2007. It's a
great pack. I decided to lighten up for 7 weeks of section hiking in
2008 and purchased a ULA Conduit. I am very happy with the Conduit and
plan on using it in 2009.

I think the ULA packs are as comfortable as any pack can be and I
highly recommend them.

I personally think the Catalyst if overkill for the PCT. Your biggest
loads will be in the Sierra section of the PCT. Since you did the JMT
last year, you know what will or will not work for you.
