Oh, well, hey - Tom's okay there.  He does use Crystal Light.  For those who
want the extra sugar (and any ostensible vitamins) and don't care about
carrying the weight....use Tang.

hikes...)

Only a heavy weight backpacker would do such a thing. Everyone with any
lightweight experience knows you mix Everclear ( I actually prefer Diesel
190, myself) with Crystal Light. It's much lighter than Tang.....  ;o)

This, I expect, is why Tom carries Everclear for stove fuel....much better
when mixed with Tang.

You can't just drink that stuff!.... Are you CRAZY?...
