[pct-l] Tents vrs Tarps - Bivies?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I'm not exactly an old geezer, but a light pack really helped me,  
too. Plus because I bought new light things, I ended up with better  
gear than I had before. In some cases I ended up with gear I didn't  
even own before, like an actual tent. A tent works a lot better in  
the rain than a bed-top mosquito net and it even weighs less, too. :)
