[pct-l] bounce box statagies

[Kevin Cook]

When I read Steel Eye's post, I started to wonder why I would want the
bounce box too. Thanks for reminding me. Town clothes! There are other
things too I'm sure, but I was thinking I would ship 2 pair of clothes. One
washed with hiking clothes, therefore clean, and another that I wore while
washing the firs tset.
