Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Cheap and heavy...

Better do some weight and volume calculations Pierre.   You may need a crew
to move the extinguishers when full.

If possible,may be better off with separate lighter weights.  I remember
reading in Kitteridge's book where he tested his drop weight in shallow
water.  He had a tough time recovering the one heavy weight and dragging it
ashore.  After that he made it a pan with separate lead weights in it.
