I was carrying an empty syringe and a film canister of
electrolytes...then mixing with water on the trail.  It was the pits,
difficult to mix with him dragging me around, and he spit most of it out.
 Last ride I just mixed up my usual dose in applesauce, put the cap on,
then put the whole thing inside a baggie in case it leaked.  Rode with it
sticking out the back of my fanny pack and had no trouble administering
it on the trail.
