[pct-l] first night out

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

If you do decide to bring a gun, make sure you research your options  
for shipping it home. If you can find any information on the web,  
print it out and bring it with you when you go to the post office so  
that you don't have to endure too many hassles from the USPS  
employees who don't know their own regulations (which is a  
surprisingly large amount of them.) You don't want to be stuck  
carrying all that extra baggage longer than you have to.
