[pct-l] Looking for ultra light gear

[John Herrin]

Not sure this is the place to post this request but my wife and I are
looking for two nearly new ultra light backpacks and sleeping bags. We are
on a limited budget and I know a lot of folks start out on the PCT each
year only to be turned back for unforeseen circumstances. I'm wondering if
anyone has slightly used gear for sale. I've checked a couple of used gear
sites but the pickings are really slim.

We are considering a medium size ULA Circuit for her and a large ULA
Catalyst for me. We are also considering at the Gossamer Mariposa packs or
possibly the Zpacks Arc Blast or even the Osprey Exos packs in the same
size (She has a torso length of 18" while mine is more like 23").

We need light weight sleeping bags as well. She is 5"4' tall and I'm 6'
(short legged, broad shoulders, and long torso). I've been looking at
Western Mountaineering, Feathered Friends, and Zpacks. Probably need 30 or
20 degree bags. We will be starting our MYTH (multi-year-thur-hike) journey
next year with a 1000+ mi leg from Ashland OR to Kennedy Meadows.

Thanks,
John and Tina Herrin
