>>1383823>b-but they're heavy!Take the bladder out of the carrier or buy just the bladder instead of the whole damn pack, your backpack likely has a dedicated bladder sleeve or at least a pocket it fits in
>b-but you can't boil in them!So fucking what? You can't boil in your nalgene/smartwater/[other plastic container] either and you're not taking multiple Klean Kanteens/[other steel bottle] anyway because, guess what, they're heavy.
>b-but I don't neeeeeeed 2-3L of water!Then you're not /out/ far enough or are a retard that thinks it's perfectly acceptable to stop every hour on the hour and spend 20 minutes filtering or boiling to refill your single 1L container.
There are very few instances of /out/ where you actually need to carry water but a hydration bladder is a poor choice. And most of them revolve around boating where weight isn't an issue anyway.
