When you are getting ready for your next camping trip, try something a little different. Throw away your canteen. It's heavy, bulky, and most of the time swings lifelessly from your pack. This isn't just wasting space, it's an offset to your balance. Try packing a Platypus collapsible water bottle, its 80% lighter than a hard water bottle and just as durable. One of the most important things when packing for a camping trip is to be space concious and hydration conscious. A collapsible (soft) water bottle does both.
This particular model available on Tamperseal.com is eco friendly, made with zero BPA, so your water (assuming its properly filtered) is guaranteed to have a crisp clean taste to it. The bottle itself holds about 34 oz (or 1 Liter) of liquid and is tapered at the bottom, so you can set it down on the ground, or even in a cup holder of your collapsible chair. When you're done with the soft water bottle it's simply a matter of rolling it up and shoving it into a pocket of your backpack, or sliding the absolutely soft water bottle down the side of the main backpack cavity.
