[pct-l] Pillow

[Jeffrey Olson]

I have struggled my whole backpacking life with finding a pillow that is 
comfortable.  I've stuffed stuff sacks, rolled extra clothes, and on and 
on.  For the past decade I've just used a stuff sack that is five inchs 
in diameter and filled it with clothes.  I wrap a tee shirt or something 
around it and that's that.  I'm a bit disgruntled.

I did just buy a new pillow - it's in my gear storage down in the 
basement so I don't remember the name.  I got it out of the Backpacker 
magazine gear guide.  I'm hoping it is the be all - end all of my 
sleeping...  Finally, the perfect pillow...
