Get one of those pillow style water containers that have a nylon outer shell with a plastic replaceable inner water bottle. They hold 2.5 gallons and have the virtue of collapsing down to nothing, cheap price (about $6-8), and leakproof. Campmor sells them via their website I would think (it is in the catalog) but you can also find them in REI with the store logo on it. They are very tough and you can always bring a spare inner bottle or two for insurance. The nice thing about them is that the lie flat in your kayak and have minimal effect on your center of gravity and don't slosh much. Of course you can go with one of the fancy ones for about $30 from I forget the company's name. I found that the water gets a funny taste in that type and prefer the cheap Campmor one. ralph diaz-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
