Thanks. Doug >Engel Doug, I hope that your trip is not anytime soon. It is still in the eighties in Central Florida and I wouldn't dream of heading into the Everglades until the first wave of cool air arrives to reduce the mosquito population. If the mosquitoes are bad, try the 10,000 islands area and find an exposed beach on the Gulf. That said, I always carry a gallon of water per person per day and use the REI water bladders since they are compact and conform to the hull, keeping the weight low. Whatever you use, keep the water away from the raccoons. I have heard stories of trips cut short due to holes chewed through water containers.
