Peter: Thanks! It was the MSR dromedary bags I was thinking of. I had come across them many months ago. If only I had remembered the term "dromedary" as opposed to "container" and "bladder," my own search would have been more effective. Hey, I'm almost 50, what the hell! Jack: I checked out REIs 3-gallon Water Sack. They look good too! I assume you're happy with yours. Any leakage? Does the flip spout work well? Richard: I carry Platypus bags now -- got about four 1.5 liter ones. They go into a small collapsible cooler -- frozen solid. Depending on how hot it is, they'll last up to two days. They do a fine job keepin' the Guinness cold - and then as a source of drinking water once they've served their real purpose in life!!! I considered the larger-volume bags, but decided to go after one I could hang and draw from with the help of gravity. I like that concept for a three-day or more campsite arrangement. Joan: Good idea on the sun shower. Checked a few of them out and I liked the 5-gallon Stearns model. Seems it would work fine as long as it stayed in a hatch. Otherwise the water would be a tad warm for drinking, no?!? Might just get one though for the shower option!!! Anyhow, thanks to all who responded! Great leads as usual!!!
