2 liters and a katadyn filter.

If water sources are available a 3L camelbak filled to 2L and my Katadyn.
If water sources aren't available 3L in the pack and two 1L nalgenes.
I drink a ton of water especially while elk hunting in the steep stuff.

Try carrying dehydrated water. It's much lighter :-)

I also tend to load up at the truck. I'll suck down a large Gatorade on the drive to the trail head. Its easier to carry the water in my belly.

This really works well for me also, I try to pre-hydrate and it seems I need less water through the day. For scouting this summer I have been taking 100oz and filter and it was working great until I set my pack down and ripped the big bite on the mouthpiece. Felt something wet while glassing and looked down and saw all my water on the trail.
what in the wild wild world of sports???
