Water dilemma

[moocher]

I’ve started drinking water Or squash more I was looking for a portable Solution for walking ,cycling Fishing etc I wanted easily fillable and portable , I also don’t really like drinking from plastic tbh
I bought a Wide mouth kleen kanteen And a condor h20 pouch carry it in, only thing is I don’t like the bulky canteen top tried swapping a nalgene one but it leaked , and now I’m wondering if it will be to heavy when filled, I’m wondering if I should of got 2 500ml ? So how do you carry yours I’m not really into carrying the plastic water bottles you buy water in in shops .

Forgot to say really looking for a carrier that can be belt clipped and carried with strap over shoulder ? Tempted by a British respirator bag .

They used to make a small plastic insert for the Nalgene bottles that would sit just below providing a small drinking aperture.

The Nalgene shouldn’t leak. I like them, but not if the water has sat in there for hours. There’s a cap by Humangear that’s handy, make it work both as a drinking bottle and pourer.

Humangear Capcap+ Universal Bottle Cap Black

<div> The <strong>Humangear CapCAP+ Universal Bottle Cap</strong> offers the best of both worlds. Drink spill-free through the small spout, and then clean and fill easily with the large cap. </div>

Must admit this has tempted me

US GI 2 Quart Bladder Canteen

This US 2 quart canteen is a real winner, I've been using one myself for years and they are really handy. The enhanced quality cover is fleece

Same here pal haha ive not seen them on the market for a long time but theres an attachment for it to use it like a bladder canteen.
Ive got one of those without the pouch i use for extra water, works out about right. 3l of water a day or so. But when it runs empty ya got no bulk or weight to walk out

I just use a Platypus. They last me years. I admit that they have a plastic sooky cap thing, but I just bleach that fairly often and it's fine.

Thanks I seen those but couldn’t be bothered to spend more cash towards it as think they bottle is going to be heavy full ?

Yes. The one I use most still predates silicon type bladder ones. It's some kind of laminated plastic. I have three, and they're all sound, even though the oldest one is now twenty years old ......maybe I ought to update ?
But then, if it's not broke, why look for a fixit ?
These seem to be the present versions of mine.

Kind of remind me of what you see in the kids meals section for kids that are being weaned onto solids . Or Capri sun drink containers ?

The two Klean Kanteens I have are internally threaded SS bottles, the Nalgene is external so I think I’ve misunderstood your question.

Lightweight, easily cleaned, visible internally, robust, packable, and my big one comes with a seperate nozzle that turns it into a shower if I leave it out in the sunshine to heat up
