[pct-l] Clothing questions...et al...

[Mike Chapman]

The Donner Party were thinking shorts and tank tops,then they got hit
by an early storm,it didnt end up well for them. So my answer is,your

sleeping bag holds out. I use synthetic long jons(UL) and REI
shorts/pants combo(awesome,and UL). Just my 2 cents,good luck.
