Water Bottle for Harness?

Original Post

So I'm looking for a water bottle that would be safe to clip to my harness. Nothing big, 8 to 16oz would be fine. Stainless steel would probably be preferable so it won't break on possible impact or scraping on rock or become a flying object. Any ideas?

You described the water bottle you want in detail so go buy it from REI

I was going to say - the best water bottles are old gatorade bottle with duct tape. Cheaper, more durable, doubles as a piss bottle.

Goat bladder with tumpline across forehead. Put rocks in to simulate weight of stainless steel.

Grog ...

I also use gatorade bottles ... As you can see this ones take quite a bit of abuse

However you need to use a clove with them as the lip isnt as secure

Gator WATAH !!!

The best are just your plain old pop bottles ... They are required to be sturdier to withstand the pressure from carbonated drinks

Also the threads fit a sawyer mini water filter

Also, using a little good ol' American ingenuity, I've fashioned a nifty solar still that I wear on top of my head. It works like this: 1) Hose from penis to bottom of still. 2) Hose from pure water catchment cup in still to mouth. 3) As I crank the rads, I'm also peeing surreptitiously into still, which converts pee to pure water, which I'm constantly drinking from hose. It's a fully self contained system!

J Marsella, that's correct, I use an external catheter. If your product is tasting funky a little lemon flavoring added to the still freshens it up.

thats pretty genius mike!!! do you think it would be possible to have the still go to an intravenous drip? then you dont have to drink your own piss

I've experimented with IV drip but there's really nothing like cool, cool water flowing into my mouth. However, I do occasionally rig an IV drip with morphine when my ingrown toenails are acting up.

Just pee down your leg like a man. It'll evaporate and cool your leg on a hot day.
