Jeff Crawley replied to the thread One (water) bottle to rule them all?.Surely just the rebirth of the old Blue Desert Smartube? https://www.gearaholic.com/products/blue-desert-smartube Which have been around for years and years

Jeff Crawley replied to the thread 1,000 Miles in a Lumbar Pack: Ultralight Camino de Santiago Packing List.I agree about the Strapettes - a worthwhile investment.
