[pct-l] I root for the tarp!

[calliger@infolane.com (Richard Calliger)]

Do both! Hike w/tarp sans so, with tent, with!
My TNF tent weighs 2.8 lbs with poles, the extra
1.8 lbs is well worth it in inclement weather
and for the testoserone display (and hey! the
estrogen display occurs too ya know...) lol
And. well... geting out is NP to pee...gives u
a good stretch!
