Who has ditched the trusted Nalgene bottle?

You’ll pry my Nalgene out of my cold dead fingers! While hiking my rifle (or camera, for that matter) around the woods I carry a 3L bladder of water and a Nalgene of electrolyte mix that I sip throughout the day. Just before bed, pour that empty Nalgene full of boiling water and put it in the foot of the bag…it’s FANTASTIC!! If the temps drop and you wake up cool, pull that warm bottle up between the femorals and let it warm your blood. Adds 10deg to your bag with nothing else to futz with.
 
The bad thing about the wide mouth Nalgene is if you're several miles / hours from camp with no water around eating lunch & accidentally knock yours over you'll have approximately 0.05 ounces left for the next 8-9 hours. Don't ask me how I know this
This is one of my OCD habits. I rarely set a bottle down without putting the cap on.

Accidents happen!
