[pct-l] Go-Lite

[dude at fastmail.ca (dude)]

wildcat - here's my real quick answer: the smaller your pack, the less 
able you are to take things that are not truly necessary.

I did 408 miles of the PCT between tahoe and whitney with a 1900 c.i. 
pack.  I had to strap my sleeping pad and tent on the outside of the 
pack, but it worked.

peace,
dude
