A gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds. I can't carry that much extra than I already am. And they want hikers to carry even more than a gallon? I never go out into the desert any further than I know that I can get back safely with what I carry with me. In all my years of hiking only one time was I worried and that was in Big Bend, Texas. I went too far with too little water. BIG lesson learned that day!
Tomorrow is election day. I feel safe where I am.

The whole World is worried John
When I use to hike it was in the mountains, and I carried enough water on me for the day. I would drink what I carried in backpack, but I managed to carry more weight out, rocks! It was tough when I would slip and end up like a turtle on my back. Be safe and I hope you voted already...
glad you play it conservatively.
Keep away from the mess I should think.
Yes better on your place.
