Very nice.  Smart.  Actually, I was not going to share this little secret, 
but I have a secret method of carrying extra water.  I carry 2 Platypus Little 
Nippers (about 10 - 12 ounces each) in with my 2 Platypus Hiker water pouches 
(1.6 liters each) on my waist belt system.  They are my last resort water when 
things go wrong.  I was not going to share this, since I did not want you 
harassing me for water out in no-mans land.  Of course, I do not always have the 2 
Hikers full if water is not a problem.
