[pct-l] Survey for Listers: What Tent & Pack Do You Use

[chwillet at indiana.edu (Christopher Willett)]

Pack: Ultalight Adventures Zenith
Tarp: Dancing Light Tacoma tarp with carbon fiber pole (I don't 
use trekking poles).

I'd use exactly the same set up again.  The only possible change 
would be to take a double sized bit of tyvek instead of the 
tarp in the south.
