[pct-l] Thru hikers for 2011

[lee staley]

I've used the original Sublite (using tyvek cloth) with good results for 
several seasons in the Sierras and in desert ranges but it remains 
untested by a heavy downpour.  The tyvek Sublite might be adequate for a 
thru-hike, providing one could ride out an all day or all night storm in 
dense forest cover.  The lack of condensation, minimal weight, and easy 
set up are certainly pluses.
