Well you guys go right ahead and spend $30 for a plastic bag with a plastic hose coming out of it. Me, I'll stick to my trusty water bottle and ice bag. Fight high prices, use what you have.
What did hunters ever do 50 years ago; you wonder how they ever took any game without camo, $200 dollar techno boots, and $30 dollar plastic bags.

If they would have had it they would have used it.I was hunting with my dad since far back as i can remember,it was tuff.about 5 yrs before he died I bought him some goretex bibs and coat.After a few hours in the rain he stopped and said,I dont care how much this cost,this is better than sliced bread.we never used tents,it was the bed of the truck,and if it was raining it was under the truck with a tarp.I love the elements but,I like to make things comfy as possible also.I broke my neck a while back,my pack didnt have a waist belt,the neck problems made it painfull with out the waist belt.So I bought a pack that would relieve that pain in my shoulders.It came with the bladder.Im sure happy with it.

I have used a "Platapus" blatter for 4 years now. I have used the water bottle and it makes to much noise as it gets empty and takes up much needed space. The cheap water blatters always tend to taste bad and its very difficult to get rid of the bad taste of rubber in most of them.
The "Platapus" i use has a opening like a "Zip Loc" bag that i can put ice in it and it does not leak andare very easy to clean.

They used to hunt from the truck, wearing cotton flannel shirts, lay the rifle across the hood as they smoked a cigarette and pick which buck to shoot, from the many.
I added a water tube to a one liter bottle on the side of my pack for years, so I could get a sip ever now and then without taking the pack off.... finally caved and bought a camelpack to add to my hunt pack. Technology and new stuff are not my enemy. Work is my enemy.
