well I wouldn't want the bracket/holder because I wouldn't want the cans upright. But that can is cool because of the places for the straps. One thing for sure, they wouldn't move!

That looks like it would hold enough water to wash your bump.

I heart outdoor showers.

After what happened during an event last year I'll carry spare gas.

I was in the back of a 12-15 truck train. As junior guy on the event team my job was pick-up trail markers set by the leader and to assist any stragglers.

One guy in our group refused to turn on his radio because it interrupted his music. (BTW, the one time I heard his music he was listening to Barry Manilow.)

Anywho, that guy was three or four trucks ahead of me. One truck between us was taking it slow. We and a few trucks fell behind and were trying to catch up. Somewhere in that catch-up process the lead truck called for a head count.

Barry Manilow was MIA. No dust trail, no radio contact, nothing.

So there I was in the middle of no f'n where, enough gas to comfortably get back to town but not enough to go find someone who may very well have missed a trail marker, lead him back to the trail and then home. I had my wife and daughters. What to do?

About the time I figured I'd rather let the coyotes eat him and not my family, he turned up. Had he not, he might have been in big trouble and I would have felt like crap for leaving someone behind.

Spare gas is like life insurance. With any luck I'll not need it and when I do, it'll only be once.

I wondered if you'd catch that.

It holds enough for 2-3 showers, should I wash my truck with the leftover or be nice and share with Nostrilla? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oh, you are so sharing Mr. Sanfrancysto.

Is that where the expression "Watch your @$$" came from?

Nah. They don't come in black and look silly strapped to the $2,000,000,000 Gobi rack.
