: for all of us. I'm taking stock of necessary equipment and provisions now
: to be sure I'm ready. One question I have is this: if I bring my own

: case guilt becomes an issue.

I'm beginning to get the big picture here. You are rebuilding the wreck to use as a tow behind fridge and your packs contain Guinness and Powerbars. I'll bet you have a recliner and a TV packed into that rear hatch too. What kind of wilderness experience am I getting myself in for? I think I can see the real reason you missed the portage and went over that waterfall. :-)
