[pct-l] Ultralight tents

[JPL]

Its called "cowboy camping" and its great, except when it isn't.  You just 
have to know where you're going, the expected weather, and the consequences 
of bad weather and whether you're equipped to deal with them (mentally, 
physically and equipment-wise).

I was thinking I wouldn't take a tent for the first section. I've spent some 
time in Joshua Tree (sad to hear about the vandalism), and have camped 
outside many times, however I have been forced to sleep in my car (I know) 
due to 60 mph winds. Maybe we've already discussed this, but I'm curious 
about people's thoughts on sleeping under the stars.
