The faucet may open occasionally when it catches something in the boat (and my F-craft is going to be pretty darn cramped in the trip). Same danger exists with MSR standard spigot built in the small cap. While spigot can be wrapped with electric tape over and around, faucet I don't know how to lock, (don't remember - is it on small cap again - then I may try and tape it, and if not - then makes no sense to lock it). I've spotted a water bottle with wide cap ($4 empty) that fits Drom bag and opens like any water bottle - pulling up the sleeve in the center of that wide cap. Same danger that it may open and lose water when you don't see it. Very upseting, and very odd - my no-name few years old water bottle doesn't leak, and $25 Drom bags both leak (replaced one that leaked more than another - same result).
