[pct-l] Sleeping Pads and Tent poles

>> The 'Pro's' you speak of regarding sleeping pads is right on the money.

For the light-weight/ultra-light hiker the weight simply prohibits it as an
option. <<

When it comes to lightweight or ultralight gear selection, nothing is really
off the table. The point is to get to an easily manageable comfortable
weight. The path chosen to get there will vary widely from person to person.

A full-length pad may fit perfectly fine in a lightweight kit. Just because
I may not include it or Ray doesn't endorse it, doesn't preclude it as a
viable option. Remember ultralight is less a defined set of specific gear
and more an attitude of selecting gear wisely.
