[rebel-builders] Fw: Batteries for Murphy Moose- Ballast

[Dick Wampach]

A few of my heavy friends use 1 gal milk bottles filled with water in a
cases that hold 4 bottles. You can carry it along as ballast, use as
drinking water if you went down in the remote, it won't hurt you as bad as a
brick if it becomes a projectile in a mishap, and the cost of dumping it and
a refill is minimal to nothing.

I like the sand bag idea because when I get to where I need to load up I can

just empty the sand out and bring my bags back to use over again, (I sure
would not want to leave the oil unless I could put money in my pocket in
exchange) :)
