Re: [pct-l] How many are into "Rays Way"?

You are so correct I'm sure Ray and his followers are using what makes sense
to them.  But sometimes I feel like Ray is being downright arrogant with
anyone that doesn't accept his methods or his way of doing things.  Like the
thing with the labels, true they are everywhere on modern gear, but I'm not
destroying my things to get them off.  Plus so many times he says he's
analyzed other thru-hikers "Mistakes"  true some new long distance hikers
make mistakes but just because someone wants to take their time and enjoy a
5.5 month thru-hike it shouldn't be viewed as someone who's lazy.  I took 6
months during  my AT thru-hike and I wish I could of gone 7 or 8!

  I wish I could make my own gear though I really admire all you hikers who
do.  I'm sure the money savings is the most amazing!
Ray is on a level of his own making.
Cheers
