The point is to have water when you get to the camp spot. I'd rather carry an extra 14 lbs than not find water.

And I like cold beer, lol
Been doing a fair bit of hunting and fishing, along with some multi-day canoe trips. I am a fan of the wilds...
My 3 day canoe trip (9 guys, 5 canoes) last week ended early. We got hit with flood stage river water after it rained all night while we were camping on a sand/rock bar.
We floated 8 miles in five hours the first day - it was perfect. Caught some fish, drank some beer... Stopped at 5pm to set camp and eat (and more beer with some High West Double Rye). The weather was suppose to be "a shower". It sprinkled at 8pm and then the sky's opened at 9pm. I was awake with a desperate need to piss until 5am. Could not take it and got dressed and out of my one-man tent.
It was still dark, but the river outline looked different. I attended business and went to take a look at the water. I saw a capsized canoe floating on the other side of the river. I looked at ours and one started floating past me and the rest were floating. We had pulled them up the sand bar so they were 10' from the water. We drained the canoes and pulled them up to clear 6' from the water.
When we broke camp - balled up tenets and gear and hopped in boats. Took 20 mins and the water was floating the canoes again.
We did 4 miles in 45 mins (compared to 8 miles in 5 hours the previous day) to a pick-up spot with access to a road with some elevation to get cell service. The water was ripping fast. Trees and lots of debris - saw two more canoes and coolers that got away from people. It was a hairy shit-show, but no one in our party was hurt.
Rangers showed an hour after we cleared the boat landing. He checked on us and dropped 5 folks who were rescued. They woke with river water in their tents - lost all their gear and rental canoes. One of the women looked like she was going to need some therapy, I felt bad for her. I had not considered hiking out until I saw them. Would have been the safe thing to do. But we all knew - if you go into the flood water, you try to keep near the canoes and stay wet until we hit the landing. No way to rescue with a canoe in those conditions.

On a break
Just bought a pair of pelicans myself. Wont fit in mu truck bed because the tonneau cover is a bit recessed

Got to like that lifetime warranty on the Pelicans (Yeti gives a five year warranty after its registered).Just bought a pair of pelicans myself. Wont fit in mu truck bed because the tonneau cover is a bit recessed
I got very lucky my tonneau clears by an inch or so. I didn't realize it was that close until after I bought it. If I had gone with the Yeti 65, it would not be considered oversized by the airlines.

I'm a pretty hardcore cyclist and always looking for a competitive edge. I just picked up this revolutionary hydration system. Can't wait to try it out.

Because I found the only damn pot hole on the highway and hit it exactly right so that it blew out the sidewall on a tire with about 75% tread left. This is actually an EXCELLENT tire for being so cheap. I've put about 20,000 miles on it and it took about 12,500 miles to just rub off the lettering.
