Hi everyone, I was wondering what your opinions on water bladders are? I'm looking at doing an 11 mile hike soon and was thinking of getting one. I've done hikes that were 10 miles and just carried bottles water on my back but that kind of sucked. Pic related is the Rim Runner 22 by Camelbakthat I was thinking of getting, but it's 100 usd and I wanted some opinions on if it is really necessary.
I could just get a bladder and put it in my bag but I've read that they're worth it. I also think that it might just be a smart investment. It is small, carries water in a more comfortable way, and allows just enough room for a change of clothes and some emergency gear like a medkit and knife.
What do you guys think? Is it just a waste of money or a good investment?
