[pct-l] Lightweight Backpacking



What ever happened to the "Hike your own hike, and let others hike
theirs" mantra constantly sung on this mailing list?  If someone wants
to go ultralight or lightweight...let them!  They aren't making you hike
that way.  It seems like 1/4th of the people on this mailing list are
always making critical remarks about one or another trail subgroup of
some kind.  Those who upbraid ultralighters for wearing running shoes
are probably bagged on in turn by those who claim that boots with
aggressive lugs tear up the trail.  When you make remarks about how some
other subgroup is impertinent/presumptuous for using the approach they
do, you are the one who comes off as arrogant.
