A long time ago I was on a hike in the BC fjords with a co-ed group of high schoolers. We started on our first big meal in the bush, and everyone was keen to get their share, and the guide was quick to point out that not only was I to be the first one in line, but that I was also the first to get any second helpings if there were any. His explanation was that I was given the rope and probably had the heaviest pack besides because I was the biggest person in the group, and if anyone else wanted to volunteer to take the rope from my pack and carry it on theirs instead, they would get the same treatment. No complaints, and no volunteers to carry the rope. I chowed well the whole of the hike, but I paid for it.
