This is dynamite...and we would never be at risk of dehydration because we would be on a liquid diet, drinking plenty and singing all the way.

Switchback replies: I want you to try to retake the JMT record with no food or water.  Just Jack Daniel's.  I will see you off and be there when and if you finish at Mt. Whitney.

Say, my big thing now is looking into satellite radios and solar panels for the trail.  The satellite radio in my new Prius has gotten me all excited for the possibilities for the trail.  I think Elevator is the expert on this List for that.  I was thinking of a medium size solar panel array on the back of my pack for charging.  I have to look into this  more, but it would be great if it worked.
