Waters heavy and that sux.... Bottle? Bladder? Pouch?
I haven't/can't decide the best kind of water storage. Bladder adds weight to the shoulders, can be a little cumbersome to refill, and easier to forget to refill. Bottle adds weight that usually makes the load feel lopsided, noise potential, and noticable felt/heard slosh when walking
I'm kinda thinking small platypus style pouches so u can disperse that water weight evenly might be the ticket. 2-4 small pouches vs 1 larger bottle vs 1 large bladder.
My norma/current way is the 32oz bottle filled up and dano fleece pouch to hold to the left kidney area on my vest. I can reach it without taking my vest off and retrieve with 1 hand. When it's cold outside I won't fill the bottle up but maybe half - 3/4.
And I guess I nip that crap in the bud about not carrying water or only needing .0007oz for all day. I'm in the south and I'm real active the way I hunt....camels need not respond. I can drain that 32oz by lunch early season
