[pct-l] Ultralite backpacking equipment

[darudiva at xs4all.nl (S Daru)]

I've used my GoLite Breeze now for several seasons and hundreds of 
trail miles. A few minor repairs to the netting, is all I have needed 
to do. Our tarptent has weathered wind and rain and is still as good as 
new... So: no, equipment should not last less than a season, but you do 
need to take a lot of care to handle it right. And not all ultralight 
gear is alike!!
