[pct-l] optimal conditions

[Austin Williams]

And I do agree with Ned about going prepared.  I hope that's common sense to
everyone intending to attempt a thru hike.  But it is totally possible to be
prepared EVEN FOR A MULTI-DAY WINTER TRIP with a base pack weight of under
20 lbs.  (Sorry for the caps... I'm going for enthusiastic emphasis
here...).  You have to know what you are doing, of course...

Here is a cool podcast on ultralight winter hiking for your entertainment:
