View Full Version : New Nalgene Water Bottles
HI everone just want to let you know i just got two new nalgene cantene
they are like the platypus they come in 32oz all the way to 96oz i got the 32oz and the 48oz. and the nice part they only weight 2oz each a whole lot less then the reg nalgene bottles. I was gone to bring a MSR Dromedary 2 liter but will use the 48oz cantene for camp weight save on two reg nalgene adn the msr bag 14ozs almost a pound. Igot them from R.E.I 32oz was 6.95 and the 48oz was 9.95 they both are wide mouth you can get in a narrow mouth too. :sun

How about some punctuation. When reading that, I was reminded of a child frantically going on about the days goings on, while their parents couldnt wait to get out a the car. ?

I switched to the nalgene canteens from the MSR bags this fall. A lot easier to use and fill. Definitly coming with me on my thru.

Maybe, but no one really cares.
The Nalgene canteens are great, but they are not a durable as a HDPE or Lexan Nalgene bottle. I usually carry 1 HDPE bottle (full) and a 96 oz Nalgene canteen empty. In camp it make it possible to get enough water so I only need to make one trip to the water source.
Because the canteens seem to leak they get replaced every year or two.
How about some punctuation.
Punctuation is overrated. Just ask Cormac McCarthy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormac_McCarthy).
Regarding the Nalgenen cantene, I'll have to check that out.

You can also get a top, tube and bitevalve to convert them to a hydration system. Used them for years and I am happy with all aspects.

A period following a question mark?
How about some punctuation. When reading that, I was reminded of a child frantically going on about the days goings on, while their parents couldnt wait to get out a the car. ?I see that you wrote a sentence fragment, forgot the question mark at the end of the first sentence, left the apostrophe out of the word "couldn't", and placed a period and a question mark at the end of the last sentence.:rolleyes: That is quite a few mistakes for such a short post.:D
FWIW, I have used a Nalgene cantene on all my hikes since 1999. As Peaks said, they tend to wear out, though. Find I can make a whole thru-hike with one, but then I have to replace it.
Tend to like the large mouth Nalgene vs. the small mouth platys.
For dry camping and/or extended water hauling, they work very well.
THe rest of my "hydration system" consists of 2 Gatorade type bottles.

He can be a lttle dark, but he's a GREAT writer. I read the border trilogy in the 90s, and have read his last two books - The Road and No Country for Old Men. No Country for Old Men (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477348/) is the Coen Brothers next film project.

I'll have to add it to my TOO READ list. Been checking out mainly non-fiction from the library lately (current read is a great book on astronomy). Time to start reading a bit of fiction. I tend to enjoy writing that is "a little dark".
Thanks for the tip!

Here's a slick use for the Nalgene Canteens that I've been a fan of since I saw J.K. post it...

I just feel that if you are going to take the time to post something, and want people to take you seriously, you should make sure it's typo free. (at least for the most part) It takes what, an extra 20 seconds?
And Skyhiker- how do you hike in the sky? I guess we should take all names literally.:p

You must be kidding. Look at your orginal post. It has more errors than the original post you are mocking.

How about some Punctuation? Reading that made me think of a child frantically going on about his day at such length that he prevented his parents from exiting the car.
:) I feel better now.
In case anyone is still interested in these... I have bought several of these from this particular ebay-er and had great service... Great price too!
