[pct-l] backpack recommendation

[Steve McAllister]

I am a fan of the Six Moons Starlite because it is light, but can be
expanded to hold a weeks worth of supplies.

But the thing that sets it apart for me is all the mesh. I like to
have a place to put wet clothing and gear to air out/dry while I hike.
