*It's impertant to have enough water on hand when doing long portages so I'll make sure to drink before I start the first carry then usually finish the liter when I set the canoe down.  I also have a bottle waiting for me when I get back to carry the gear pack. Back in 2000 I got caught short of water on the Side lake to Sarah killers in high heat and will never make that mistake again.

Water, water everywhere and still people make this mistake, which is excusable the first time, but just plain foolish after that.
