[at-l] Free gear donated by hikers who did not Tuckerize

[lwbooher@halifax.com (Leslie Booher)]

Also, the stuff that's cast aside is done so because it was too heavy, not
the right thing, whatever.  My point is that, if it didn't work for them, it
won't work for you.  They're not tossing aside the GOOD stuff.  <G>  When I
hiked through GA, there were several of those orange pup tents from Wal-Mart
or like set up and left there by people who hated them right off.  No one
else needed them, either.  anklebear
