[pct-l] Class of 2004 Gear

Here is something I have mentioned before, but it is worth repeating.  
Loosing/triping over tent stakes and finding other gear early in the morning before 
you hit the trail is an on going problem.  It can still be dark outside as you 
get your gear together and pack up.  Also, at night you want your gear to be 
easily found.

Just put a small piece of reflective tape around/on your gear.  Then put some 
clear packing tape on top of the reflective tape to make it more durable 
(reduce cracking, etc.).  Go to the Walmart auto section to buy the red reflective 
tape.  It also come in white reflective tape, but I like the red better.

The weight of doing this to your gear is a fraction of an ounce and it is 
inexpensive.
