[pct-l] What pack are you using

[usaphilip at acr.net.au (Philip McHugh)]

When I was on the JMT in 2004, I carried a BearVault 300 canister vertically 
in a Breeze backpack. It was doable, but not at all comfortable and 
something that I definitely will not consider doing again. Does anyone know 
if the Ron Moak's Starlite can accommodate a canister "horizontally"  inside 
the pack,?
