[pct-l] Carrying extra water

[Susan Alcorn]

Ralph carried extra water in 2-Liter soda bottles; they are lightweight and 
essentially free. Buy soda when on sale, drink it, and reuse the containers on 
your hike. Another possibility--depending on where you live, the time you have 
available, and accessibility--is to make your own water caches (bury containers 
of water where you are going to go later).  
Happy trails,
Susan Alcorn
