[pct-l] source for silnylon stuff sacks

[Tortoise]

Just went to ZPacks to check out their stuff sacks.

The site (http://www.zpacks.com/accessories.shtml) says the store is 
closed while the owner is doing the CDT and expects to reopen in 
December.  And all the stuff sacks are showing "sold out".
So this is a great idea but currently unavailable.

Those planning trips next year should keep the site in mind for equipping.
