[pct-l] Pack a STRAW or two.

[Jackie McDonnell]

The straw can be used to capture the flow of a small trickle of water.  One
end of the straw goes in the water, the other end in your water bottle.

But instead of using a straw............if you use a shelter with poles, it
most likely comes with a splint, which is basically a metal straw.  Works
great for capturing water from small trickles.  I've used this many times.
