Well we haven't run into that yet. One benefit is on the way out it is down hill the entire way. We are really off the grid at camp so no outside electric, no well for drinking water. We have to bring that in with us. We have hiked in a few times during the winter and it is a rough go. had to choose between beer or water...lol. I picked up a snowmobile that I am currently getting running so we will have that option down the road but not now.
