[pct-l] Public Notice - Sub Ultra Light Revisted

[rmoak at sixmoondesigns.com (Ronald Moak)]

>> I believe gear is largely a counter indication of success completely a
long
trail, not a causal. That is to say that having the right gear doesn't make
it likely that you will complete the trail, but the wrong gear will increase
the likelihood that you will bail. In general lighter is better... but I
would bet it is maybe 20% of the equation. Physical prep is maybe another
20%, and mental toughness is >=60%. No matter how light the gear, a person
still needs to push themselves to complete a long trail. Lots of people
aren't motivated or have the mental discipline to do this. <<

Actually a long distance hike is 90% mental. The rest is well just the rest.
