[pct-l] Lighten your pack the JMT Reinhold way

[hiker97 at aol.com]

Grazer Reinhold writes: To all those, concerned about heavy food and pack weight......did you 
ever consider "GRAZING"?  There are lot's of meadows along the trail.  You might, however, have to carry a few nuts to get you through the desert.

Switchback replies: This is old news.  Everyone knows about grazing and yogi'ing to carry less weight.  There will be some people at the Kickoff who are experts.  They hike with sub-five pound base pack weights and 10 pound total weight.  They can yo-yo the PCT with no problem.  Day hikers think they are out for a day hike too and do not realize they are thru-hikers.
