[pct-l] Ultralight tents

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

I used a Gossamer Gear One and I loved my tent.

One thing about the PCT is almost everywhere you pitch your tent the  
ground is too soft, not too hard. You end up needing very large rocks  
over your stakes. This problem clears up a little once you have more  
trees around you. It's a big problem in So Cal where it is windy  
often. Really windy. You will come to recognize every little spot  
anyone has ever camped in by the conspicuous 4 rocks arranged in a  
square with two others front and rear.
