Default Gear You Need To Have:

This bottle is heavy, and gets heavier when filled. I carry mine empty and use the water tight properties to store fire tinder and other items. This bottle is also a little noisy when walking the water swooshes around. If you experience this mere formality just add a bandanna into the bottle and it will serve as a barrier for water movement. It took a little bit to warm up to this bulky heavy chunk of steel, but after some experience I have found it un-replacable as a kit item. It is a bullet proof item. The wide mouth accommodates cooking food. The container is probably the most difficult item to make in the wilderness. Considering that water is number one priority, this item is number one in my kit for its purification and water storage abilities.
