Sloshing to make a point was Re: [at-l] Physical Preparation

Wsplt,
Tremendous point. With all the "load control" straps and power-squish stuff sacks and triple-sewn lap seams, it's amazing to me how many "experienced" hikers suffer the pendulum weight of a half-empty container. This goes *double* for the ultralites who suffer grandly to carry the lightest pack weight, and then rehydrate a sloshing dinner for half a walking day. Hello? Newton? Is that you? 
Gravitas,
Sloetoe

jsut make sure you fill the water to the top of the container or it will
slosh aroudn and make your life a living hell. the mass of all that water
shifting and sloshing is almost enough to knock you on your BUTT
