I'm trying to figure out the smart way to carry water on the days I take my big lens on long hikes.
I'll be using this bag:
Now on one side will be a tripod. On the other side is where I plan to carry water. Now I already have an Osprey day pack with a 3L reservoir and I'm initially thinking to just use that reservoir. But I need a way to attach it to the bag. Preferably something insulated and protective. Any ideas? My other option I guess is just get a couple of bottle holders and then carry a couple of 48oz bottles or so. I tend to go through a lot of water.
Any other ideas I'm not thinking of? A better solution? I'm not a backpacker so I might be missing an obvious solution. I want to get this worked out this week so I can test it over the long hikes the next couple of weeks before I head out there. Going do a 16 miler next week up and over the local mountains and I'm hoping to do it with this setup to test things out.
thanks,
Jim
