[pct-l] High Tech Hiking

[Bighummel at aol.com (Bighummel@aol.com)]

I'm still trying to make an old Army backpack fit onto a bamboo external 
frame and somehow tie on the canvas two man pup tent with wooden poles, a small 
Coleman lantern, through in an iron skillet and wear the old full leather high 
top, waffle stomper boots.  Base weight estimate at this time is about 65 
lbs.!!!!

Having fun in the Sth Calif. sun,

Greg
