I definitely need some storage space but I feel like carrying three liters of water is going to be super-heavy, especially on longer rides with a lot of climbs.
It will not void the warranty if you only put two liters, or 1.5 liters in the pack. But it you want water-it is better to have than to want.

There is another one that I can't find a link too. It happened on a day hike south of Lake Mead. The hikers thought they could survive the heat with minimal water. After two hours one killed the other one because while dehydrated and crazy because it seemed right.
This post is about a planned and supervised trip where a teen was lost a short time and died. The desert is merciless.
