I've found it to be awesome. A cup nested to the bottom of the Nalgene bottle, an esbit stove and tabs in the external pouch, add a few drink mix packets and matches and youre ready to go. Its a very cool piece of kit.Commander_Zerohttp://www.commanderzero.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836343905945224980.post-13819658918520124932011-02-04T10:50:03.832-06:002011-02-04T10:50:03.832-06:00H-Bomb,

If you care to write a review of it after you test it out, I'll be glad to publish it on here.<br /><br />Good luck finding a good BOL. Sounds like you're in a good part of the world to do so.Scott B.

I guess I'm going to go with this guy.http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___20069 Seems a bit pricey but if it lasts forever I suppose it's worth it. The other ripstop nylons are all bright blue, and we don't want that! I'm going to get this and a hennesy hammock to replace my brith red and worn Eureka backpacker tent. I really enjoyed your book and am currently researching and scouting for my potential hide out in the central appalacian forests.H-Bombnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836343905945224980.post-26095510520732226672011-02-03T16:22:12.563-06:002011-02-03T16:22:12.563-06:00Dustin, thanks for the info and for the photo you ...Dustin, thanks for the info and for the photo you sent. Looks like a great set-up.<br /><br />H-Bomb, for ripstop nylon tarps, try Campmor or some of the other online camping/backpacking outfitters. You can also buy the fabric from places like Seattle Fabrics and make your own. Ripstop nylon tarps are probably double the price of the typical poly tarps you can get anywhere, but they last longer and fold up more compact.Scott B.

It carrys a 1 qt. water bottle, as well as a nesting 20 oz. cup w/ adjustable bail below it. Non insulated though - but the pot add-on has come in really handy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836343905945224980.post-76553556527494295832011-02-02T09:46:19.196-06:002011-02-02T09:46:19.196-06:00I love my nalgene bottle - recently, I scored a Gu...I love my nalgene bottle - recently, I scored a Guyot Designs (they make the Nalgene bottles!) stainless steel Backpacker model - it has the same widemouth design & threads and the caps are interchangable. I put on a CapCap for easy drinking and a paracord lanyard for the CapCap.<br /><br />What I like about the backpacker is that it has a tapered bottom (can fit a car cup holder), can be used to boil water (treat or brew tea/coffee), etc. and you can add a bale to suspend over a cook fire if needed.<br /><br />My carrier is either a Maxped Versipack Jumbo or a condor insulated bottle carrier with strap, if I'm going light. I always keep some aquamira water treatment tabs in my bottle carriers, - one could easily keep a instant coffee pack, tea bags, sports drink or cocoa mix in their carriers, too.Dustin Tarditihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185882004859621578noreply@blogger.com
