What's your go to water bottle

Question for guys running the GSI microlite 1000...I cant seem to find a picture of the bottom online. Is it metal or does it have a non-slip rubber pad? Throwing around the idea of ditching my cook pot and just using the microlite for everything. Anyone tried this? Assume it would hold up the heat similar to any of the lightweight titanium cook pots on the market.

Mine has a rubber pad on the bottom.

1.5 wide mouth Nalgene, having the measuring scale on the side is too useful to give up

Camelbak widemouth strapless cordura pouch w valved tube. I usually wear a backpack, so I just slip in the pouch. I used to use Camelbak backpacks, but prefer a bicycling backpack. If I am not on a bicycle, I use the minimalist Camelbak cordura pouch with straps.

In temperate zones, I do not need the cordura pouch, but in FL sun & heat, I appreciate the ice cubes and the insulation with every single sip.

I have used bladders for decades and the only brand that dependably works is Camelbak, with a valved tube.

Kleen Kanteen 40oz bottle. Bit heavier but perfect for late season if I need to heat up some water, can just stick it in the fire.

Titanium is the way to go, picked up a 32oz vargo. Fits in the Nalgene sized water bottle holders on backpacks and in the cupholder of my f150 and is the same weight as a Nalgene. Can swap out the cap for a flip top to save on more weight and less noise. Trying to stay away from all the plastics when I inevitably forget my bottle in the car during a 100 degree summer day and it bakes…

Nalgene wide mouth but with a flip to open has been the easiest access for me. One-handed. I use steri-pen to purify water with the wide mouth, but then drink from the clean flip cap to avoid small amounts of contamination on the lip/threads of the nalgene. Has worked awesome for me in Alaska for years.

Heavy Cover canteen for the last two years or so. Think it's the longest I've ever stuck with one water bottle.

Takeya 40oz with a Hardside Hydration Swig Rig with my pack. Nice upgrade from bladders.

If sitting in a blind I use a Takeya or Thermoflask (same company) with the screw-top lid. Great bottles and the lids have silicone gaskets that are easy to clean or replace.

Can't beat plastic for just carrying water, but nesting water bottle wood stove cooksets are pretty clever. Same diameter as nalgene and the extras take up basically zero extra space.
By the time your morning coffee is brewing you'll be awake from the effort required.

48 oz nalgene and a 32 oz platypus for warm weather. Perfect amount for an all day hike/shed hunt, and also I like to use the platypus for mixed drinks, keeping the nalgene for water only. Cold weather I've got a hydroflask so it wont freeze on super cold hunts
