I once carried an entire keg 15 miles in my pack back in '72. That trail was uphill mind you. In the middle of a blizzard nontheless. But when I got to camp I got totally smashed.

The one benefit of packin the hard stuff is you can reuse the nalgene for H2O later and your not packin tin up the hill. But a keg, when it was finished did you use it to raft down the river to your car>?? Ride em cowboy. |

My brother carried 18 into Parson's Spring. He didn't even take them out of the box. He just shoved the whole thing in and started hiking. _________________ Good people... drink good beer.
