Besides Weight, What Are Your Gear No-Nos?

Monte –

What do you use instead of Nalgene water bottles?

[Monte Masterson]

Maxwell, I use 1 liter Gatorade bottles (1.7 oz) or Platypus water bags. Nalgenes weigh  approx 3.8 oz per liter bottle. That’s a lot heavier. I also like the larger opening on the Gatorade bottles. Some Nalgenes have larger openings. but most are smaller.

The most convenient bottles are bike water bottles – wide mouth for filling, and don’t have to unscrew a lid to take a sip. They are a bit heavier than repurposed beverage bottles though.
