I don't personally have experience carrying water on kayak camping trips, but from prior discussions, there seems to be quite a bit of agreement that multiple smaller carriers are better than one large carrier. This is true for a few reasons, mainly packing/stowing options, and not putting all your eggs in one basket should you experience a leak, spill etc. Regarding affordable, I've heard that you can use the bladders that come in a "box" of wine. I'm in the process of emptying the wine out of one now, in order to give it a test. Clearly, this is one time when testing products/solutions can be a lot of fun :-) Rick - Poquoson, VA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
