[pct-l] Gear list

[m.karon at comcast.net (Marshall Karon)]

You certainly have a light load - don't think you need to go lower.

You indicated it doesn't include the cold weather gear.  But, you will be
carrying that from the border. So, you need to add a jacket/pullover,
gloves, and some type of bottoms unless your rain gear is warm enough. Also
camera film or batteries. Trail guide. You probably don't need 3
washcloths - 1 small towel will do. Probably add less than 1 lb - so that
makes it around 10 lbs.

I wonder about the rain gear - sounds quite light. Will it hold up?
