"Hydration bladders... out of fashion?" Thanks for the responses. I wouldn't have even considered this soft bottle thing except for the clerk. Anyway, yeah my new system for on the trail will be a wide mouth soft Nalgene--I sized up ... |

"Hydration bladders... out of fashion?" A clerk at REI said that he wasn't sure if a Steripen would work with a clear soft bottle nalgene. That seems wrong to me and according to what I've read here, but then it occurred to me th... |

"windshield VS heat exchanger!?" Jerry: that's pretty friggin' brilliant! 0.9 oz.; nice. And it fits inside your pot. I bought a used caldera cone (not ti-tri) just to try as a canister stove windscreen. Not recommended... |
