[pct-l] Sleeping bag help, please

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good morning, MendoRider,

I’m really glad to hear those weights because since I don’t carry either
one I can now feel good about saving 10.75 extra ounces vs. the 4-5 ounces
I thought I was saving.

At home with lots of chores and cabin fever…

-Hiking the Pct since before it was the PCT – 1965
