[pct-l] Umbrellas

[motbe at cox.net (Daniel Strickland)]

I met several on the AT this summer that had umbrellas, and that used them
quite often.  I didn't see any GoLite ones.

One guy I met had the name "Inspector Gadget", and he had rigged his
umbrella up so that he could hike with it open and still use both his poles.
So...  It's possible to do..

You can always look through Ray Jardine's book(s) to find out his method of
making a standard umbrella lighter, and you'll end up with one that's close
to what GoLite sells.
