[pct-l] Tents for three

 Hello Rob. I would say the best set up for three hikers is three seperate 
small tents( or tarps if you prefer) If your carry a large three man shelter, 
you are stuck each night camping together. Alaso if one person falls behind 
of leaves the trail, you are stuck carrying the big tent. You could carry a 
large tarp for group cooking if you wish or to lay out under the stars. 
Treking Poles_ _ _ the older you get , the better they look!! It's nice to 
spead the impact of ground pounding around instead of just your knees getting 
hammered ( esp. on long downhills) Plus , you get a little upper body workout.
