Obviously Ive known about these Nalgene type wide mouthed bottles for a while but never used one. I'm wondering, other than mixing powdered drinks and cleaning, what advantages does one of these pottles have over a standard water bottle?
Nalgene Wide Mouth Bottle Advantages

Given my experiences over the last two days with a US pattern botter, I'd say for putting under a millbanks bag.

Lessy messy to use as a pee bottle
Beat me to it...
If you use one as a pee bottle, make sure it's clearly labelled!:yikes:

I had thought of that after reading it suggested in another thread but in fairness I think I would rather get up and stagger off to a tree!

Try camping in minus figures...a pee bottle gets much more appealing when its baltic outside your tent / hammock / tarp.

The main advantage of the wide mouth Nalgene bottle for me is that it screws directly to the outlet of my MSR Waterworks filter, which means filter and bottle are one unit when in use. No more worry about spillage or missing the bottle with the stream of filtered water.
Incidentally, I have three of them, two clear ones for water, and a smaller opaque white one as a pee bottle. To avoid mistakes, the two water bottles are kept at one end of the shelter, away from the sleepin area, and the pee bottle is kept next to my sleeping bag.

I always get out for this. The gain is not worth the risk of a mistake leading to a wet sleeping bag. And even in -40 one does not acutally get very cold for a minute in the wool superhero costume, socks and just stepping into the boots.

They are easier to fill with snow. Pour bottle half full with hot water, add snow and shake until it is full with water.
There is a coffee cafetiare that fits nicely onto them, wide mouths mean less spillages in a nutshell. Good for hot drinks, cant think of any design faults.
And if push comes to shove.....
With the addition of cold weather and a stick = Nalgene wide mouth bottle shaped lemon popcicles..... mmmmmm
