[pct-l] 2- 2 liter platypus' and one 16 oz nalgene... my reasoning 7.7 oz

[shauncarrigan@xxxxxxxxx (Shaun P. Carrigan)]

Ok, I've only done one long hike... 16 days... but this system worked well for me. I've also used
it on a bunch of 2-4 day trips.

I carry...

1- 2 (3.5 oz) liter platypus with hose... stay hydrated... no more stopping to pull a water bottle
out
1- 2 (1.2 oz) liter platypus with cap... fill for long streches and blow up with air at night to
use as pillow...
1- 16 oz (3 oz) widemouth lexan nalgene... use as hammer to dig-in ground stakes, use as
insulating mug, as soup container, and as a late night hand warmer (boil water, pour, put between
legs and enjoy 4 hours of warmth)...

so... 7.7 oz and you can drink while hiking, carry 4.5 liters of water, have a comfy pillow,
always have a hammer to pound stakes in, and a late night body warmer...
