[pct-l] Gear for sale.

[Brendan Beltz]

Are you hiking with the Echo II this year? I just bought the Echo II Camo
System at a discount from HMG, but now that I have it in hand I'm having
second thoughts. It's bulkier than I expected. It's also maybe a little
overkill it seems. I was actually thinking about putting it on BPL just to
recoup the cost (I haven't even been able to set it up yet.) I'm sure
somebody will want an unused Echo II system for 440. But that leaves me back
at square one a week before I leave for the trail.

Are you thru-hiking with the thing? Do you use the insert for rain or just
bugs or neither(the tarp seems big enough without the backwall)? Do you bivy
instead?  A lighter insert?

I guess I feel like I bought more than I need for this hike. Maybe a twinge
of buyer's remorse.
