nope.  any decent thru-hike will require frequent use of a full-sized
liver.  just ask rainman and otis, 92   :)

rainman also conducted his pct hike in much the same way.  he's the only
thru hiker i know that retains his beer gut for the duration of the hike!

btw, congrats to him and blister sister for organizing a super gathering in
hanover...at least, so i heard.
