[pct-l] Neat Idea - Heh, Heh.

[Hiker97 at aol.com (Hiker97@aol.com)]

As part of my continual harassment and irritation campaign of other hikers,  
I was thinking that I might use my big fluffy light sheep skin auto shoulder  
strap pads on my LuxuryLite pack shoulder straps.  The LuxuryLite has a  very 
aggressive load transfer to the waist area.  The shoulder straps are  mostly 
just to keep the pack next to your back.  But going down the PCT  trail this 
set up might really irritate the ultra lighters.  Plus, the  greenhorns on the 
trail would think I was carrying a really big load.  I  would tell them that 
too.  "Yes, I am carrying 100 pounds to go  camping this weekend.  You know the 
usual ax, iron skillet, and base camp  expedition tent."  I would complain 
loudly about the pack weight  and spit a lot of simulated tobacco juice too.
 
I do not know if I will really do this, but I like the idea.  Can you  
imagine what Can'tQuit goes through being my trail partner.  She is a  tough lady.
