Ideas for what to use to scoop water

[TwoSpirits]

I took an old platypus bottle and cut the bottom 3rd off. (This is I suppose similar to the suggestion of re-purposing a Sawyer bag....) Folds to nothing, weighs nothing, and is in fact so much nothing that I've forgotten I even had it a couple of times. Incidentally, I cut it to hold just shy of 8oz, so I'm also able to use it as a measuring cup, if and when that is ever needed.

I use one of the sawyer bags that came with one of their filters I bought. It's a six ounce bag or something useless, just cut the top off and it'll scoop from the shallowest sources. make sure to have a bandana ready to use as a filter.

For anyone reading this far in this thread, turned out that Guthook sourced info ended up being accurate as to where we would and would not find water. Getting water ended up not being a problem at all.

But this has been quite educational anyways!
