+1. I carry two water bottles and
48 ounce bladder that I fill late in the day prior to camping in areas without water. When I toured through Big Bend, and camped in the desert, I supplemented my supply with sport drink bottles as above.
If you're looking for a larger bladder
I'd recommend this. I prefer the large mouth for easier filling, cleaning, adding ice, and to use with filters. My 48 ounce has lasted for many years.
