JMT fast I routinely mix 1200 cal of powder into a 24oz bottle. This much would be a bit cumbersome on the trail, but 1000 in 24oz is a piece of cake. It is, of course, easier to get the powder into a bot... |

Re: Re: Brett has broken both supported and unspported records :) I LOVE it! Some unknown kid comes out and puts his heart and soul into this thing for the whole summer. His first attempt he crashes & burns on Day 1, as everyone expects. Learning his les... |
