When bushwalking I use a bladder , while trekking a bottle . Both have advantages and disadvantages so I decided to combine both .
A bottle with a bite valve , easily made in a few moments using rubber bands a bite valve from a punctured bladder I had and a generic disposable water bottle .
The only ' fabrication ' needed is to make a hole in the bottle lid . A heated nail or screw driver will do this if you haven't got a drill .
Hopefully the photos are self explanatory , the hole should be tight and the end of the tube cut at an angle so it doesn't seal on the base of the bottle .
