[pct-l] PCT question

[Austin Williams]

I would consider anything over 2 pounds too heavy.  I would aim for around 1
pound or less if you are planning on going ultralight.  I'm a big fan of
tarps, especially homemade tyvek tarps (they are cheap and extremely light).

But that's just me.

Tarps aren't for everyone.
