I was tempted to call this thread "hauling gas", but I didn't! :-)
I do a bit of trail riding. On occasion, I want to haul gasoline, an extra gallon or so. What is a good way to do this? Do those flat pack tanks work good? How do they vent, if they vent at all? I used a basic hardware-store plastic one gallon cheapie once, and it leaked. I kept it way on the back, away from the exhaust pipe, but it kinda made me nervous, dripping away back there. I've thought of buying a heavy-duty DOT-rated steel can, but it seems heavy and kind of overkill. Any recommendations?

The flat packs are good if you want to spend $75 for a 3 gal gas can. I bought one of those 2 1/2 gal gas can holders that clamp onto the rack but it busted that cheap little bar off my rear rack. Now I have to buy a rack extension. Just get a sturdy 1.5 or 2.5 gal plastic gas can that seals good and bungie it to your rack.

armadillo Out-N-Back Rack came w/ a non vented can. Get a non vented can.

Cobra,
Nice buck in your pictures but what did you shoot it with. That thing looks pretty torn up. If I didn't know better I would say shotgun with 00 Buckshot.

Well long story goes along with that buck. I use a Remington Game Master 7600 Pump 30-06 with a 3x9 tasco scope. It was 10 till ten on the first day and I saw this one come up with a doe. The shot I had at him was at an angle so I took it becuase there was no way I was coming home empty handed yet another year. I took the shot and hit him good right in the shoulder. He ran a little bit down hill, and landed about 15 yards from my back yard(not much of a drag[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ). So we get out of the stand and go down to see him, and he is still moving a little bit. He is obviously dying pretty fast and my dad said just to shoot him again to speed up the process. So i am getting ready to put on in his neck and he tells me to stop and says he will just slit his thoat. So I watch as he pulls out his knife and goes up to the deer and starts cutting away at the neck. The deer then jumps up and moves about a yard and then drops again. So my dad again tries to slit the throat. Only this time he straddles the deers back between his legs and starts to cut. The deer again jumps up right as my dad makes the final cut. It was kinda like watching bull riding only my dad only stayed on for about 2.5 seconds. The deer buck him completelly off his back and I watched as my dad rolled down the hill. I know something bad could have happended, but it still did not keep me from laughing. Trust me if you were there you would have too. Right as my dad came off he did get the deer good and he died as soon as he bucked my dad off. TO this day there are very few things that I have seen that are as funny as this. If he would have just waited, in a short time it would have died, or even let me put one in its neck. But oh well, at least we got a laugh out of it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

When I was in Alaska we were out caribou hunting and my buddy shot a nice bull in the neck. Not huge but still a good bull. It was only about a 50 yard shot and the caribou dropped in its tracks. We walked up to it and I was getting my camera out for pictures. Before I could get ready he strattled it, sat down on its back and lifted its head by the antlers. As soon as he lifted its head the bull woke up, and shot forward. My buddy weighs about 270 and he rolled right off the back of this caribou but not before the antler hit him square in the forhead and put a nice gash in him. I was rolling on the ground laughing and never did get a picture of the bou. Mike grabbed his gun but couldn't see through the scope because blood was streaming into his eye. I got a good picture of mike holding his gun with his face covered in blood.
We never did find the caribou. We figured the bullet just glanced off the neck bone and temp paralized it.
