So I handed the kid a two gallon water bucket, open top metal, and asked him to go over to the stream and fill it.

Then he realized just how heavy that 'mere' weight is.

Can you ask ATC to include proper bear bag hanging in LNT training?

THanks Mike. The ATC does include bear bag training in LNT courses, at least they did in ours. I don't want to carry a canister either, honestly. Most people don't. So to avoid ever having to, I'm hoping people will be a bit smarter than I was about trying to disassociate humans with food. It's a sticky debatable topic for sure.Mountain-Mike wrote:

So, today I received an email from Beeradvocate magazine offering me pay to write an 800 word article about beer on the A.T. Condensing such awesome info into so few words is going to be a new challenge! I'm pretty damn psyched!

Now here's an interesting fact that also affects us hikers. Your water is most dense at 34 degrees farenheight. So, if you are winter hiking store your water bottles upside down over night. That way as water approaches the freezing point (colder than 34) it will rise in the top of the container, which is really the bottom, and that's where the freezing will start. In the morning you may still have some liquid water at the bottom, really the top, of the bottle.
