>>1754799>bladders are fragile as fuckI wouldn’t go that far, but I certainly wouldn’t only carry a bladder with no bottle or backup plan, which entirely defeats the purpose. The best option is one bottle, one sawyer bag with cap, and a sawyer squeeze assuming you’re hiking somewhere with periodic water sources. That gives you a two liter carrying capacity that you can refill indefinitely and can expand by simply adding another 1oz bag or bottle.
And you don’t have to drink out of a moldy bladder and tube that never fully dried from the last time you used it
