>>17589>What you should do, if you're really set on a canteen, is get a really wide pistol belt and another canteen set. That's how they were/are used in the army. The belt is one not for your pants, but for carrying a lot of shit. And balancing the two sides makes it that much easier to hold it up comfortably.>But really, there is a reason you don't see anyone with canteen sets.You're not wrong. But I have it now and I like to think it is still useful for camping - in which case I would probably have my pack.
Here's how I sit it in my big pack, though it creeps out of the elastic after a few hours of walking.
