[at-l] bottles versus ______ Re: 2011 thru hike

[Tenacious Tanasi]

Amy writ:  "I prefer bladders under any but freezing conditions.  Bottles are enough of a hassle for me that I tend to get dehydrated when I use them."

As with Amy, I discovered that I tend to drink more along the way if all I have to do is stick the bite valve in my mouth from my shoulder and take a slurp.  I used to have terrible issues with dehydration before this.  So, I now use bladders for drinking water all of the time no matter the temp, but I will take a wide mouth bottle for water collection.
