[pct-l] backpack question

[Diane at Santa Barbara Hikes dot com]

The equinox pack looks a lot like a Ray Jardine pack. It would  
probably work fine. I like equinox products.

This is what I used last year:
http://www.gossamergear.com/cgi-bin/gossamergear/G4.html

The page says it is out of stock, but I show it to you because it has  
generous side pockets. I was sure those pockets and the whole pack  
would rip to shreds if I bushwhacked. Well, I bushwhacked worse than  
I have ever done so before. I tore myself to shreds and was bleeding  
everywhere. But the pack did fine. So I'm sure the equinox would do  
fine, too, especially on the PCT which doesn't make you bushwhack.
