Hydration Setup

[mtwarden]

I have the same mobility issue; with all the packs I've owned (and that's plenty!) I've never been able to easily reach a water bottle in the side pockets.

I bet if you contact Stone Glacier there is a high likelihood they would make one of their "old style" bottle holders for you.

It was designed for their packs, but I had no trouble using it on my Seek Outside.

I’ve always used a Nalgene bottle and some sort of a pump filter. Then I switched to a sawyer and those bags gave me fits. So I went to a platypus gravity fed. That’s nice. Now I use the hydrapak with their filter and it’s stupid easy and way light because it doesn’t have a ton of part and tubes.

^This.

Maybe vary the size of the hydrapak bag (2-4L); replace the filter annually.
