[pct-l] Would you carry a extra 8 grams on your thru hike?

[Steel-Eye]

Good evening, Glen,

I drilled and tapped the top of the grip of one of my hiking poles, and 
screwed in a 3/4" long 1/4-20 threaded stud.  The stud weighs 3.5 gr. but 
the net is less than that by the weight of the plastic I drilled out.

 I'm going to try carrying a gorillapod, you can wrap it around your pole 
and do the same thing or use a branch, rock, table, etc to set up camera. Ok 
you got me beat on weight by an order of magnitude but I think its much more 
usefull.
