[pct-l] Photos and Media Storage

[Junaid Dawud]

I found the easiest and most foolproof method was just multiple memory  
cards. Though I haven't looked recently, last time I did, memory cards  
were cheap. My recommendation is to buy a few and keep em in your  
bounce box. On trail, you'll have one in your camera and an extra one  
too. I think 4-5 two gig cards would probably do it. If you have a  
person at home that can receive the cards, store that data, and mail  
them back, that's even better (since you can freely shoot everything  
you want without fears of storage space).

Either way, I'd say have at least 3 cards.
