I wonder if they have my size - It wouldn't hurt my man boobies to be a little
bigger, and it would probably distribute weight better than putting a platy
in my backpack. Judging by the capacity if I wore both of them I could even
random camp away from water sources without having to significantly alter
my manly profile:

The Heck with Platypus Bottles....

Course I dunno if their customer service would be as nice to me as Cascade Designs
is for waranty stuff <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

My dear PHAT,

You may have just found THE answer to THE question no one has asked. I vote for "The Wine Rack" for you. You don't need another beer belly!

"Seriousnessly" though, distributing weight to the front is a good idea. I confess to ALWAYS carrying my Dana Designs "Wet Rib" front pouch that attatches to my lower shoulder strap webbing. As opposed to their "Dry Rib" it holds a water bottle in a bottle holder attatched the big main pouch where I carry maps, food & other "necessaries".

I use my Wet Rib bottle for mixing & carrying Cytomax or Propel electrolyte drink.
Gotta have it for the steep uphills and hot days.

brilliant!!
The "wine rack" is interesting too, though it will bring about a different reaction than the beer gut from the opposite sex.

i wonder how much it weighs... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And will the new MSR hyperflow filter attach to it? Inquiring minds want to know...

I already have a slight beer gut but could still get away with the beer belly bladder. If I add the wine rack it may just even the whole system out. Also, if I carried the intended beverage instead of H2O, I might be a few xtra days getting out of the woods. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Here in Memphis,(famous for ribs) we have wet and dry. I'm partial to wet ribs. You can get the best dry ones at the Rendevous resturant downtown. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
