[pct-l] foot ware and Spring run-off

[Wes Rose]

Thanks for answering for Ned, Reinhold.  I value Ned's contributions to the list.  Perhaps
it's prickish to ask about the pack weight of 90lbs, since it seems like an excessive amount
of weight to carry.  Ned promotes himself as an expert and outdoor trainer, which is not in 
question.  90 lbs is a lot of weight and a curiousity, however.  Chris Townsend, in his book 
"The Backpacker's Handbook", concedes to carrying a similar weight on his back, explaining 
that he is an avid photographer.  One wonders what the payoff is for Ned?
