Re: [pct-l] Hydration systems (camelback, etc.)

["Peter Haskell" <pchaskell@hotmail.com>]

I took the 2-liter Platypus on an overnight shakedown hike, a while ago, and 
really liked it, although I learned that one must make sure that the hose is 
firmly attached to the bag, lest it twist off and empty the bag.  It seems 
to me that it'd make sense for a thruhiker to carry  a 2-liter system plus 
the appropriate number of lightweight bottles.  But I'd be interested in 
hearing what's worked for others.
