| So, Marty, who carried the full 5 gallon bladder throught a dry spot? 40+
| pounds of water in one load is pretty burdensome. Seems more 1 or 2.5

Superman. One of the advisors. 40 pounds on top of a large pack
already at 55 pounds! He may have shuffled some weight onto a few
other people on the critical day. The trek wasn't that strenuous -
the low water days were Harlan - Deer Lake Mesa overnight no water -
Sawmill, then Cito - lambert's (but there was unexpected water at
lamberts), and then Clarks Fork up over the Tooth on the Last day.
