[pct-l] water consumption/capacity

[Dan Africk]

Thanks for all the feedback. It sounds like 8 liters will be plenty most of
the time, so I think I'll go with the 6 liter dromlite and my 2 bottles, and
maybe I'll bring a nalgene 1.5 liter canteen bag for the longest waterless
stretches(not the most durable, but it works and I already have it, so its
free). I won't be using a hydration tube with any of my bladders- I've had
too many problems with leaking at the tube connection, and they're too much
of a hassle in general.

Definitely some good points about the security of multiple containers, but
everything I read suggests that the dromlites are pretty bombproof, and I
plan on treating it gently anyway, and I like the simplicity of fewer
containers. Plus I'll have enough plastic bags and duck tape that if there
is a failure, I can probably salvage most of the water(this happened to me
once with a nalgene 3 liter canteen- not in a desert, but loss of that water
after I carried it up a mountain would have meant a very sketchy trip).

I look forward to meeting everyone on the trail this spring.
