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