That will work well when you meet a string of 10 thirsty 
illegals.............. That's about 2 oz each.

BTW, the Coyote (smuggler)  is sure to have plenty of fluids and food in 
HIS backpack. Wonder why he isn't sharing it with his "customers..."

You will also enjoy the large quantity of discarded bottles of water and 
Pedialite (smart Coyote's) along the trail south of Hauser canyon. With all 
the labels marked "Hecho en Mexico."

There are times when being a good Samaritan just won't work........

Probably more satisfying to bring a large trash bag and pick up litter. 
(I've done it - as has my running club while preparing for a race on the 
PCT. We once picked up about 6 LARGE bags full in February.).
