[pct-l] SuperSecrets - Umbrellas

[hiker97 at aol.com]

For the 2009 campaign I recommend the Birdiepal Dainty umbrella.? I got mine last year at www.ProLiteGear.com.? But I did not see the silver metallic model this year at their site.

What is cool about this 5 ounce umbrella is that you can collapse it as you walk along the trail.? This is very useful.? If the wind picks up or branches are overhanging the trail, you just reach up and fold it up.? Simple.? You cannot believe how neat this is out there banging along the trail.

Umbrellas are one your best defenses against dehydration.? Used with Switchback's One-Ounce World Famous Hands-free Umbrella Holder, you are in great shape.? By the way, at the April Kickoff at Lake Morena, I will be making these holders for anyone who wants one along with many other useful hiker services making Canada a piece of cake.

Thank you for your attention.
