In Response To: Off Topic: I need ideas for yummy snacks for the river trip (Robert N Pruden)

Hey Robert,

I recommend leaving the beer at home. Instead, pack a powdered grapefruit juice mix and vodka or some overproof liquer. The powdered fruit joice really does taste like real grapefruit juice, and you'll save a lot of carrying weight. My friends and I did this last year at Quetico (Canada's Boundary Waters area) and I swore then that I'd never carry beer or wine again.

A good beer is nice, but if you eliminate the ounces, the pounds fall away.

PS: You can take AIR too. No need to fill up the boat just because there is space available. Every gram lowers your boat in the water.
