Years ago, when the first one flew by, seeing a body falling all that way, it freaked me out. I recognize what they're doing now so it's not so bad, actually it's kinda cool seeing them hurtling to the ground and then see the chute explode open.

I hauled a 5 gallon paint bucket lined with a space blanket and solid foam insulation. I had beer cans and frozen water bottles in it hoping the frozen bottles would keep the beer cold. It failed miserably. The beer I had in a bag in my haul bags stayed colder. All in all though, it was the best tasting beer of my life!

Right on Mark! The best brew truly is the one after a hard day's effort!
