As far as the camelback hoses and gas...do tell.
I can tell my part...
I had a hydrastorm pack for quite a while and was never used. So I pulled out the bladder and filled it up, only to find that it had a huge hole in it, so it was a total loss.
Later Vince asked if he could have the hose. I figured I'd get a new hose when I buy a new bladder anyway, so I let him have it.
Anyway, I'm not really good at remembering names, since I met just about everyone for the first time, but someone's car was almost out of gas, and they tried to use my hose to siphon gas out of other cars so they could get the car back to the gas station.
There was no puking (damn!) but I guess the hose wasn't long enough for it to work.
