[Philmont]: Water carriers

Philmont vets...

First of all, thank you for all the responses on my questions so far. The
feedback has been shared among our crew and decisions will be made based on
that information.

A question regarding water carriers:

What does everyone use? Nalgene bottles? Bladder-type carriers? A
combination? What about a 2-3 liter bladder carrier that will fit in the
top of one's pack? Lots of water for those long days between water sources,
but are they the best option?

I'm familiar with the collapsible water jugs. Those could work, too, (for
in camp) but I'm thinking that if each person on the crew were to have at
their disposal a water container that could carry a substantial amount of
water on the trail, it might end up being the best alternative.
