[pct-l] Backpacker Magazine

In relation to Elizabeth's Backpacker  comments, remember that Backpacker has 
stayed true to backpacking for  about 33 years now, a third of a century; 
that's pretty impressive to me.  Outside is still around, and almost as old, but 
not totally  about backpacking, by a long ways. Wilderness Camping and  
Backpacking Journal ceased to publish about 25 year ago. 
(BTW, if anyone has Backpacker 5, I'll pay a  damn good premium for it; it's 
the only one I don't have.)
    I agree with the earlier comment about this  year's Gear Guide issue; 
it's kinda poor, except for the charts.  Luxury Lite got left out of the pack 
section for some reason; that's really bad;  I can't find it at the moment, but I 
believe LL was in there last  year.
