[pct-l] helping out

[Paul Robison]

someone should calculate how many calories per liter this water has,  so we can 
adjust our food loads accordingly and then just risk botulism  ; )


... joking of course please filter etc.  no matter how tough you are, you will 
NOT enjoy having nasty water as your only water.

the fire tank at rodrigez is almost the stuff of legends ... an old rusty
tank 
with many dead lizards and mice floating in the top, forming a fatty film of

gross.

... clean water there would be a huge benefit ... no amount of filtering can

remove the mental yuck of the bloated dead animals you have to swoosh around
to 
get to that ottom few inches of water in there.

in 2010 the ornwers of the outfitter in julian brought in a 450 gallon tank
on 
the back of their 4X4 and hikers did not have to endure this, traditionally,

horrible PCT right of passage.  i consider myself blessed.
