[pct-l] single sleeping quilt

["Joanne Lennox" <goforth@cio.net>]

My single sleeping quilt is 2 lbs not 3 lbs, and the 2 lbs includes a 3
foot zipper and a large head tent of mosquitoe netting.

I also misspoke about the excretion of protein in a recent post.  Excess
protein is converted to glucose or more often to fat, and the nitrogen of
the protein is excreted thru the kidneys. The excretion of excess nitrogen
thru the kidneys requires a lot of water so people who are on high protein
intakes frequently lose weight (temporarily since it really is just a water
deficeit).
