[pct-l] Slap Me Some Gearskin!

[blisterfree at isp01.net (Brett)]

I assume you're saying it's your BIVY that you no longer 
use, and not the Gearskin. But the reason I raised the issue 
of the Gearskin was a concern about how well the system 
would work when packing a single wall tent, ie Tarptent. 
Interior condensation can be spooky enough just to look at, 
especially when using an ultralight down bag. Now the makers 
of Gearskin want us to try wrapping our bag INSIDE of the 
shelter like the shelter's a stuff sack? And wearing it on 
our back exposed to the elements? And all for the 
back-breaking weight of 24 flippin ozs? C'mon - a homemade 
silnylon pack and quadruple stuff-sacks all around weigh 
less than that!

Is the convenience worth the risks?
