[pct-l] Chaffing advice from experience

[Ben Gunderson]

What's the deal with pack covers? I've heard from numerous sources that
trash bags are the way to go. What say you? But if there is one thing I hate
is a wet pack, if need be I don't mind buying a real pack cover. I have done
the poncho method, but not totally sold on it. Just wondering about the
store bought pack cover.
