BWS - I've been mulling that over, it's little weight with a lot of functionality.

I put a titanium sierra cup in the kit I gave my sister a few years ago, the one she says she still keeps in her car.

With this backpack I'm envisioning her being stuck somewhere in the metropolitan area -- at work, a store or on a road -- and having to walk all or much of the way home. Probably 10-15 miles.

Depending on the weather, I figure 32 ounces of water, some snacks and some cash can get her that far within 12-24 hours.

You've probably nudged me into adding another steel cup. ;-)

I'm keeping an inventory of this bag and will ask her for an inventory of what she currently keeps in her car.

I wish she'd keep a bicycle at work.
