[pct-l] Rain gear

[Deems]

I carry one hiking stick, so I guess I'm balanced... when it's raining...I 
don't like being wet in a storm, or in camp....An unnatural bent hiking 
technique for one is a simple natural walk for another...Perspective and 
deep thinking of technique is best for oneself, tho I will listen and 
filter, and choose what works best for me...Colin carried one hiking stick, 
and for 35 years, I still find it's a good choice for me too .. Negative 
Energy, does it come in chocolate?
