[at-l] bottle question/esbitt stove

[Gammara1@aol.com]

Dear friends of the Net(At Net)
any one know how to take one of those nice 32 oz black- grey nalgene bottles
and hook it up so you can sip it like a platypus- with a hose, bite thing, etc
etc where do i get what parts? how do i get rid of the top middle part etc
etc- ok im not too mechanical- but im a good guy even if i do hike with a
little down pillow. 

  besides i just got my esbitt stove- thats neat- why would anyone use an msr
or peak 1 anymore if youre hiking alone or with a a friend/wife/kid/whatever.
i heated water up in about 6.5 minutes i mean boiling, ok its not as quick as
my peak 1- but its not 22 oz + 1 quart of fuel at what 2-3 lbs- its 3.5 oz,
and 1/2 oz per tab per meal- so for 2 meals a day for a week out or between
drops that would be 3.5 oz+ 7 oz=10.5 oz- whats wrong with this picture if
anything- why isnt everyone using it? am i missing something? flame away- no
just good answers- i'm especially interested in wildbills response with of
course references from him<vbg> jim
