“Packing a substantial water carrier to replenish your bottles can be a bind and take up valuable space and weight. I am a wine buff. recently a guy brought a box of wine to my home, we emptied it and he pulled out the bladder . Eureka! I washed out the bladder pulling out the tap and by holding a coffee filter over the opening, submersing it into a creek, pond, water body etc, I collected 5 liters of debris filtered water ready for purification. A great reservoir of water at the camp site. The bladder folds away to less than 2 square inches and weighs less than 3 ounces! to top it off it was free and fun acquiring it ! Happy Hiking” 7:50:24 AM 9/05/10 “recently a guy brought a box of wine to my home, we emptied it and he pulled out the bladder . Eureka!
