Replacement for Nalgene water bottle?....

[WILLIAM HAYES]

a second on the Vitamin water bottles lightweight and seem to be more durable than regular soda bottles-a tip on how not to avoid dropping the bottle cap over the side of a mountain-get a small plastic tie with grip lock - a piece of mason line about 6 inches long and some super glue-place one end of the mason line under neath the plastic tie pull the tie tight around the bottle cap and trim off the extra length of the tie then run a light bead of super glue around the edge of the plastic tie- tie the other end of the mason line under neath the rim of the bottle neck -it adds very little weight keeps the cap attached to the bottle similar to the nalgene ring

Trying to trim some ounces...I like the durability, but think I can save a few ounces here....is there a good, durable, lightweight water bottle. I also like have one with a squirt spout instead of lips on the lid....

the lightest waterbottle in the world is the lightest waterbottle in the world for a reason. it stays hiddin in the deep jungles of africa cause if folks found it they would attatch all manner of accesory lids and lights and bobbels and stickers and lanyards and straps and doohickys and thingamabobs and whatchamacallits. it aint havein all that. we keep in touch.

I really don't see why people even bother paying money for a water bottle when the best ones known to man are free and don't leak (and the store bought ones often do)
just my 2 cents.

The same reason people spend $40K on a car when you can find plenty of good used ones for around 3, they think more expensive means better. I have always used a 2L Gatorade bottle for my water, with a 2.4L Platy for camp water.
