    I just use a silnylon roll-top stuff sack like these from Sea to Summit that otherwise contains my clothing(dry socks, long base layers, fleece, whatever else i'm not wearing). I'll just empty the clothes into my main pack bag once I set up camp and then use it for a small water bucket if I need to.

    They also make a nylon "sink" that is kind of like a bucket.

    Campmor, REI, EMS, etc likely has these and similar.

    I'd use the Nalgene 96oz canteen instead. Especially in the summer around NY. You need to be able to pack water.

    We used a Coghlan's nylon water bag, $9.99 from Campmor, and loved it. Weighs 3 oz., carries 2.5 gals, easy to fill, hangs from straps, bails from top, dries fast and packs very small. As 4eyedbuzzard noted, a silnylon stuff sack would do pretty much the same thing. If you're planning to carry one, try that and if you decide later on a separate water bag might be better for you a Coghlan bag can be purchased at the outfitter in Hot Springs or other outfitters along the way.

    I won one of these last year at Soruck and have to say I couldn't imagine not having it with me on all trips.

    My wife made me one of these before my section hike in Oct. Multi-purpose gear is awesome!
