How do you carry water in your BOB

[Rick]

Actually, I forgot about those. I do have a canteen in each of my vehicle bags.

Hydration systems (like the camelback) are the only way to go when you are hiking far and carrying a lot of weight, especially when water sources are scarce. The ability to take regular swallows of water while you walk is invaluable at keeping you properly hydrated and makes for a much more comfortable hike.

The only "problem" I have found with them is that, because you drink water more often (which is exactly what you should be doing) you run out of water more quickly; which means you either need to carry more than you normally would or you need to have a well-though-out replenishment plan.

The "other" problem I found is that they leak. I know, I have only had three, and they were military ones, so not a good statistical representation. All three leaked in the same two places. They leaked where the tube slipped onto the little nipple, and they leaked from the top screw on lid. I was able to fix both problems with a new o-ring and by cutting the end of the tube and reconnecting it. But both solutions only work for a short time. I bought my son a small cheap hydration bladder from Kelty. It has never leaked. I won't buy a camelback again.

I carry a nalgene for daily use. I also have 2 1 liter platypus bottles to be filled in situ. Recently added 2 NOS US mil 5 liter soft canteens to the car bags.

[BStreet18]

what do you suggest for cold climates?

I guess I will have to rotate daily.

For me its a GI 1 qt hard plastic canteen, GI 2 qt soft canteen and a nalgene 1 qt, also have a stainless steel cup that the nalgene rides in, in case I need to boil the water.

I just picked up 2 (2) quart soft canteens.

hey sarky how is that kifaru? those bags look awesome! been thinking about getting but i cant really find any informative reviews on them

They are built damm tough! Their motto is if you can carry it the pack will hold it. And i've put that to the test. Filled my Navigator with stones until my knees buckled, not even a poped stitch.
Have you checked www.milspecmonkey.com ?

Nalgenes. I've also noticed that all the teachers at my school have them.

Anyone seen the Platupus water containers?

ziplock seal, easy-pour corner spout, twist cap, handles, and rolls up for compact storage.

Looks great for a Bug out bag. compact and lightweight so you can put them in your bag and use them with water purification tabs/ iodine.

[crashdive123]

Platypus has several products on the market that work well.

[Nath1985]

carrying 2 days worth of water will be heavy enough, so it depends on how long your bugging out for. unless you got a weelbarrow your not going to carry more than a few days worth of water with you. I think the next best thing if bugging out on foot is lots of water purification tabs, iodine, ect and a few platipus water bags, this way you travel light. But thats just what i would do.
