[pct-l] Wait, what is the 411 on REI Flash?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

A big pack (in volume) is not such a bad thing to have if you are  
planning a thru-hike or a hike longer than a month or so. That extra  
space may just come in handy for food. I had a Gossamer Gear G4 which  
is something like 4000 cu inches. Way too big just for my gear, but  
add my food and I barely could pull the drawstring at the top closed.
