[pct-l] Washington conditions

[Bighummel@aol.com (Bighummel@aol.com)]

Apparently another case of a poor, extreme, ultralight choice of weight over 
safety.  

I suggest:

1. Know the conditions
2. Know your limitations
3. Know your equipment
4. BRING the necessary 3 for 1 and 2

If you did 4 and 2 or 3 are not sufficient for 1 then don't go.  Or, if you 
find yourself deep in the woods when 1 changes radically, then get out.

IMHO (but I believe that this should, at least, be considered common sense),
