[pct-l] Suplimental Water containers.

[Will Hiltz]

For large amounts of water, I used an MSR Dromedary.  Its a tad heavier than
the platypus but impervious (aside from direct stabbing with a sharp knife)
to the kind of leakages that can affect the Platypuses (Platypi?).  Its not
on this website, but I have an older version that is an 8-Liter that is also
black so it can double as a shower if you leave it in the sun for a while...


YITOOD,

Easy
