[pct-l] RE: Ultralight is an attitude vs Jardinite

[reynolds@ilan.com]

To me going ultralight is buying the best, lighest gear one can afford and
leaving home everything one can do without. In this definition, ultralight is
definitely an attitude and a style.

To me a Jardinite sacrafices comfort and risks injury to hike more miles a day
to get to a destination. This is also an attitude but it's different from the
above attitude. That Jardine uses a very light pack [and shoes] to be able to
walk more miles simply confuses the issue.
