[at-l] Hydration systems?

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Platypus bags have been around at least 5 years. The major changes have 
been in getting rid of carry packs, and simply selling the bag and tubes. 
There have been some changes in mouthpieces, as well as development of the 
Big Zip bags. For those using pump type filters, either screwing into the 
pump or attaching the tubing directly is usually the ticket. The inline 
filters are obvious, but you need a means to get water into the bag. If the 
bag breaks, mail it back to Cascade and they replace it.

How much is too much is up to you. I carry at most 2 liters, until evening 
and gather an additional 2 liters for evening and morning cooking and the 
morning's water.
