I've had some good violent death dreams in the past. Being shot with a machine gun was the most painful / "genuine" one, IIRC.
I am told the dreams in which you are dying are the best you'll ever have
I've been waterboarding myself for a few years now with this stuff re: school-aged kids bringing home colds.
Similar to analyzing your poo, it's quite interesting to witness what comes out of your sinuses when you're sick.
I don't use distilled water, so I've probably got brain worms / ebola-aids but at least my sinuses are clear...
Costco 250 pack FTW, tho I've DIY with a tsp of salt in the past.

Remove all the valve stems.86 freedom units and humid. Naturally, I forgot my water at work, for tonight's ride.
This seems like a good spot for your jeep, bro.
And conveniently store them in the gas tank. That way it’s legally not theft.
No, loosen them just enough so they're not airtight.
But then it's stuck there for a while. Better to just slightly loosen them, that way the tires go flat elsewhere.
My wife uses one of those nasal things. Only thing that keeps her from getting sinus infections.
If you're not using distilled water just boil it.
Sounds like it's time for a story, Unc 6th.@Nick was also saved on porc rim iirc

the banana? or was that @Full Trucker ?Sounds like it's time for a story, Unc 6th.
Pretty sure he is always packing sunblock, so he can prevent a slow death, too.
kind of a super-hero, really.
I had to serve him a margarita, which I think is what you had too?Sounds like it's time for a story, Unc 6th.
Yup. The marg is what saved me.
Those chews made all the difference!
I have also had a margarita provided by @6thElement on a ride in Moab. Not necessary for survival at the time, but welcome and delicious none the less.
R.I.P. Jersey Banana Kid. You should have packed an extra layer in that drawstring sling backpack what came with your tennis shoes.
The Banana Incident® was witnessed by myself, @Nick, and @stoney while riding the shuttle up for The Whole Enchilada... and it was some kid from Jersey who had the banana. Pretty sure that kid is still out there, half way down Porcupine Rim.

dammit now i want a margarita.
but not a banana.

This is a good place, I think, to recognize @Full Trucker for saving my life on a long ride in the San Juans with some well-timed chokkie Clif shots. Picture during said ride:
I can't tell you how suprised I am that you aren't smart enough to carry enough food and water when venturing into the mountains. Shocked really.
I think I had two breakfast burritos and a couple slices of pizza on that ride. But yeah - I definitely underestimated the effort of that one.
I did have a water filter, which we used several times to re-supply...
Weren't those the gels that were several years out of date?
I still need to do that section of the CT, you should stock up.
Errr... I don't think they were out of date at the time. But not sure. I'm pretty positive that the gels I have in my "emergency rations" section of my pack (from that same batch) are *definitely* past their best-by date by now.
If I do this ride again, I will cut it short and descend West Lost Trail Creek - 'cause that descent is MUCH better than the descent at the end of that segment. But you should do the whole thing, 'cause I'm pretty sure we'd get back to the truck about the same time.
It wasn't just him. It was his whole crew of like 4 or 5 guys in gym shorts, t-shirts, and running shoes. Single water bottle each and the one (now half-eaten) banana.
