Re: [Philmont]: Water carriers

I have carried three two quart canteens for myself(and used it all), and the crew usually has two bladders (collapsible jugs) to carry water to a dry camp. you can make it easier if you hang the bladder from someone's hiking stick, and have the crew take turns carrying it in pairs.
