[pct-l] San Jacinto water report, etc.

[reynolds@iLAN.com (Reynolds, WT)]

Charlie,
I currently use the LE. It is much thicker for the same weight. That is why
the ultralites are available. However, the amount of didcomfort a person may
tolerate varies widely. Many people love ultralights because they pack so
small.

PS: Never had a problem with puncturing. I am amply padded so the sharp
edges of my bones don't potrude ):

I may weigh less than Tom, but I've never had any luck with getting an 
ultra-lite mattress to support me ... my hip bones go right to the ground.

I've switched to a RidgeRest (~ 5-feet short) ... just as lightweight, and 
puncture tolerant.
