    I use the bladder out of cask wine boxes. They fit over 3 litres in them but i only fill them as much as required to cut down on weight.
    They squash down to bugger all when empty and they are suprisingly durable. and they dont slosh round in the pack and can take any shape required when there is limited room in the pack!

    I'm gonna give that one a crack the next time I walk in for a overnight or two. Cheers!
    “For us hunting wasn’t a sport. It was a way to be intimate with nature, that intimacy providing us with wild unprocessed food free from pesticides and hormones and with the bonus of having been produced without the addition of great quantities of fossil fuel. . . . . . . . We lived close to the animals we ate. We knew their habits and that knowledge deepened our thanks to them and the land that made them.”

    Surely it would be a far more exciting hunt if you just drank the bladder of wine????

    While hunting I use a hydro bladder.
    If I can I will leave the bladder empty and drink from rivers etc to reduce carrying the excess weight. When leaving the last water supply I will then fill the bladder and drink from that.
