Well at least you can use the whle drum when you buy one;-)

All I can say, is your bladder is a lot bigger than mine!

Also I think you will find gas is pretty reasonable available every 200
miles or so. The furthest I've ever seen with no gas (or anything for that 
matter) is 165 miles, and that is considerd a long stretch. 
Of course that isn't in the arctic.
