Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
I've got one 58 patt bottle that is usually on my person and then 1 or 2 large 2litre fizzy drink bottles.
For day trips the old Nato water bottle or plastic coke bottles.
For overnighters and weekends a camelbak that clips to the side of the Sabre (plus the Nato water bottle etc)
For meets where water is supplied I take a collapsible plastic water container.
Water is a hard resource to find in the field in my area so I nearly always have to carry mine in.

Siggs/sigg clones, nato/nato clones, nalgene/nalgene clones for my belt or pack.
A plasic 2gallon container for short static camps and a water roller barrel thing on a handle for long static camps.
For flash - a leather waterbottle that I made and/or a coconut bottle I made

Coconut bottle is on far right...
Simply cut the top off a coconut insert and glue in a wooden spout.... this one is set in a wooden plug as getting the meat out of the nut is easier if you have a bigger hole hence the need to reduce the hole before fitting the spout.
I like coconuts - for the shells as much as the flesh - and I have made mugs ladels, jars, bottles etc from them

Absolutely brilliant!
Did you have to seal the "nut" to water proof it?
Does nature do it for you?

Errrrruuuuummmmm - One would expect it to naturally be waterproof - surely otherwise the milk would leak out?!
(completely ready for someone to prove me wrong mind you!
)
there is coconut flesh inside a coconut. that's what stops the water getting out 100%
the shell on its own should be waterproof enough, though i don't know how long it would hold water if it was saturated/sitting it in - can't see a reason why it wouldn't be

Any chance of instructions for the leather water bottle and a larger photo of the coconut Please.

Nato bottle, roll up carrier, 5 litre bottles from Tesco, empty pop bottles, or when you forget the water, you borrow a tub from Mr Fenna Thank you John
Plan B, if water is available, take Cider, drink Cider and fill empty bottles

I use a Webtex Camelbak clone for overnighters, it is not very good as it leaks if water gets to the screw lid thingy. I have to find that old Ortleib 4l. baldder I had a while back.
I have just got some of those water collectors for my hammock from an Ebay auction, you screw a pop bottle to them and hang them from the corners of your tarp.
Problem is whenever I go bivvying it seems to stay dry, I am not complaining you understand.
I also sometimes use a Nalgene bottle.
