I have a 100 ml bladder in my backpack, but on the Grinnell Glacier trail this year, my bladder had wrinkles in it at the end of the day because I had used every available drop of water. (We said it was vacuum sucked
instead of vacuum packed)
When we did the Loop trail, I froze water in my nalgene bottle and carried it in addition because I drink a lot of water... especially if it is hot. And it's usually hot because we go late in August.
Robert is afraid I'll run out of water while hiking and he's wanting to get a filter... just in case.
