Glenn member Registered: 03/08/06 Posts: 2617 Loc: Ohio	I'll second Oldranger. If I can't afford to stop long enough to dig out my water bottle (even if I have to remove my pack), I'm doing it wrong. I've always found a single liter bottle and a 2-liter Dromlite bladder to be enough where I hike (water is plentiful.) I use the bladder as an air pillow far more often than I put water in it.
