I perceived you correctly. I was only kidding about the water dipping and possum mating, though this was believed by some or all back then. I didn't take it as an attack at all. I know everyone on the list means well. I personally compress my water in old yellow colored aircraft oxygen bottles and can then carry ten times the water, though the bottles then weigh ten times more which is something to consider especially when on foot. But I didn't want to bring up compressed water because everyone would say,"Hey! That's not right! They didn't have aluminum oxygen bottles back then!" I've tried cans of evaporated water (like evaporated milk) but you have to carry more cans of water to cut it with thus defeating the whole purpose. So I went back to the compressed oxygen/water bottles. Which can bought at most Army/Navy stores. Just wrap them in a burlap sack to make them look historical.

It only takes one male and one female. 

Now for the rest of the story !! Opossums  are Marsupials, and therefor are "kinda" primative in development sexually. The female has two overies and each comes all the way to the vigina in a separate tube. however, only one seems to produce eggs at a time.

 The male not knowing which one , has a penis that is "forked" and deposits sperm into each one, at a mateing.

 The female as she is going out of "season" will go out on a limb and turn  faceing toward the   male , her rear toward the tips of the of the limb. The male still trying to breed will aproch her and "work" on her front end insted of the "other", not being able to get to the rear.

 The "old timer" possoum hunters , shining their lights up in the tree observing this and seeing the "forked"  end working toward the nose, assumed he was depositing the sperm in the nose, and she had to "blow" in in the other end.
