water storage
at the risk of asking a 'how long is a piece of string?' type question - I am currently trying to decide how much water storage capacity to carry on my swb land rover for a journey in spring 04 thru north-east / east Africa (via Libya / Egypt / sudan / ethiopia / kenya) - I've already bought 2 20l plastic jerricans & was thinking of buying another 5(!) - this will give me (in theory) a range of 7 days (for 2 people at 10l/day per person) - this sounds a bit excessive to me but I read in the sahara overland book that in spring, an amount almost twice the recommended 5l a day per person should be stored.
can anyone who has undertaken a similar expedition give me a (rough) indicaton of how much water storage capacity I may need? I have to bear in mind though that I only have a short-wheel base landie which may limit the amount I can carry
thanks
George
