[pct-l] light weight packs

[Jim Mayer <JamesLMayer@netscape.net>]

I have one of Lynne Wheldon's packs and have carried up to 25 pounds (that
included two quarts of water and seven pounds of food) in it.  In terms of
comfort, think ruck sack.  There is no suspension... just two padded shoulder
straps.

At twenty five pounds it is extremely comfortable for me.  I suspect that if I
had two gallons of water in it I'd have a great incentive to keep well
hydrated.  I haven't tried that though.
