NO !!!

Too many times I have been camping at a campground and watched bikepackers trying to minimize weight come dragging into a campsite badly dehydrated and the first thing they say is - where is the water?

On one day ride I did on Maah Daah Hey trail, I was about a quarter mile from the campground and a bikepacker trying to go to the campground was so dehydrated that I gave him some of my water because I was not sure if he could make it the last quarter mile.
