[pct-l] Base Weight Calculation

[Fuzz McPherson]

My ears don't hear talk like that!  lol  I'll tell you, include in my base weight then a bottle of scotch!  I might go retro and carry a rickety clump of an old pack, too, just to get the comments for fun!

It isn't a strange attitude at all.  I think it is great
that we can all compare notes and figure out how best to
equip ourselves but I got tired of the incessant badgering
that some people directed towards others on the trail
regarding gear choices.
