[pct-l] another tent question

[Stephen]

Depends on retail outlet listings, and or manufacturers listings, but 
sometimes you have minimum tent weight, tent weight with all accessories, 
and packaged shipping weight.  And remember, a lot of gear isheavier than 
advertized, so weigh it when you get it.  I've only weighed acouple tents 
and they were both over the listed weight by 1/2 lb.  This trend is 
lessening some but still prevalent.
