So will be ok then.
Thanks to all,

On the cables, you picked a topic that got the minimalists debating with the ready-for-anything folks, I am surprised the debate appears to be over already.
Water, hot days I carry about a gallon of water if I do not know if I can get resupplied. I consider myself to be running low on water if I am down to only one 26 oz bottle remaining. But most days I start with some empty bottles if I know it will not be too hot.
