[pct-l] It's all about having fun!!! (naked)

[randy_forsland@hotmail.com (Randy Forsland)]

Has anybody given thought to insects ?? Ants and other 6-8 legged critters
are what compel me to pack a tent...I get by on about 2.5 pounds of good old
fashioned, fully sealed, and insect shielding tent w/integral floor.

I would rather do without 16 oz of Ray's latest book than give up my tent..
