How much H2O do you carry?

[wideleft]

Just curious what everyone carries/packs when it comes to water.  Staying hydrated is so important in staying alive, alert, energized...  I have and carry a 32oz bottle plus a 100oz collapsible canteen giving me 132oz of water.  One of my bigger fears in the back country is not having water with me, I really don't like being thirsty and not knowing where the nearest source of water is.  I know this is where scouting can pay off, but trekking through unknown country always has me searching for water sources and marking them on the topo.
Like I said, just want to know how much water you are prepared to pack.

2 liters and a filter.

How long of duration is a big part of the equation.  I like to have 96oz per day.  If I am packed in I have a filter and find water to replenish. 

[Smossy]

2 liters atleast and iodine.

[Weehunt66]

1 liter and Katadyn filter.

[deerslyr]

128 ounces, in other words 4 32 oz gatorade bottles  and iodine or some sort of purifier. Im lucky, where I do most of my hunting theres spring seeps in quite a few places also.

I usually start with (2) 32 oz. gatorade bottles full on all hunts.  Depending on the nature of the hunt I will either pack my filter or just rely on the 64 oz.

The farther I am from water the more I carry. If I'm hiking/hunting in an area with a lot of water I might only carry a liter but have my filter handy in the pack. Otherwise I carry at least two liters. For day hikes/hunts I just carry a bottle of purifying tablets just in case.

When I have a number of water sources, I carry 32 oz. and my filter.  I usually end up stopping every 5 mi. on trail. 

After the 5 mi. gap I adjust up to about 4 liters if I'm going 10 miles without water (which is very rare in the Cascades).

I won't go anywhere where there is more then 10 miles between water sources.  What's the point?  Animals have to drink also.

As much as Coach can carry!!!

[washelkhunter]

16oz.

[coachcw]

can never take too much , 100 oz plus two to three sixteens incase rt runs out. most days I take my water for a hike and i'm ok bringing some back to camp. I ran out on a hell hike and that wont happen again !

I usually only carry a 20 oz bottle for an all day hike hunt.  Rarely does it come back empty and often, it comes back full.  Not a great thing to do, but my body doesn't require as much water as many others.

3 liters and a filter.
