Could my experienced peers please share with this Camino virgin ideas about how you carried your water? I'm preparing for my first walk from SJPP and I've just about figured out most of the logistics, but I can't get a wrap on this one. I prefer to not use a CamelBak. How do you carry your water bottle? Hanging on a carabiner from your pack? In a sleeve attached to your pack with Velcro? My Osprey pack doesn't have an easily accessible pocket for a bottle. Is there something obvious that I'm not thinking of?
We use two 60o ml bottles in each side pocket of our packs, I know you can't do this as you have no side pockets. Never carry all your water in one container, if you loose or puncture it then you have no water.

Which Osprey are you using? Mine has side pockets where I put my bottle(s) ... Depending on the heat, the distance, I carry from a small bottle (250 ml) to 2 one and a half litre bottles , easily accessible from the sides. I could be completely wrong since I don't know all the Osprey bags but ... have a look.My Osprey pack doesn't have an easily accessible pocket for a bottle.

I generally carry 2litres, which is overkill on the Frances. I carry them in plastic bottles inside my pack, wrapped in a fleece. This way they stay cool much longer. OK so I have to take my pack off to have a drink - is this really a problem?
Check out the Blue Desert SmarTube Hydration System, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GM6LWS/?tag=casaivar02-20
Buy 2 PET bottles, as SYates suggests. This system has adapters to most bottles and has the convenience of the drinking tube.
Buen Camino!
No, as others have mentioned it means your body also takes a few minutes of rest.I generally carry 2litres, which is overkill on the Frances.

I go for simplicity nowadays; two 750ml bottles more or less full depending on heat etc. I have used a Camelback in the past and really liked taking frequent sips on the move. It kept me well hydrated but filling, cleaning and never quite knowing how much water was left all seemed to add an extra layer of complication.Could my experienced peers please share with this Camino virgin ideas about how you carried your water?

Typically we take a liter apiece in bottles that are stored in the side pockets of our packs. Peg's bottle is just a light and cheap reusable beverage container and mine is a heavier, nearly indestructable Lexan bottle with a wide mouth. The Lexan bottle wasn't really needed for the camino but it is a habit from backpacking where we want to insure against leakage. On the negative side was the extra weight of the heavier bottle. On the postive side was the extra weight of the heavier bottle. The more weight I carried the closer I walked to Peg's pace.Could my experienced peers please share with this Camino virgin ideas about how you carried your water?

I haven't done my Camino yet, but I have been using this in training hikes. I like it a lot. You can place a Camelbak Eddy bottle of any size (.5L/.750L/1 L) in your backpack sidepocket(s) and the tube will be available such that you don't have to worry about not being able to reach the bottle without removing the backpack. I guess it is more limiting than the Smarttube, as you have to use the Eddy bottle, but I am fine with that. You can order it from Camelbak directly or some other sites that sell it. It's called the Camelbak Eddy Hands-Free Adapter. Good luck!Could my experienced peers please share with this Camino virgin ideas about how you carried your water?

I use wide necked water bottles that I can put ice in at stops

Ditto the Camelbak tube recommendation. As mentioned above water is heavy but fortunately plentiful along El Camino. Also, staying hydrated is important and I have found that, for me, I drink more when I have the Camelbak tube at my shoulder. My side pockets in the Osprey pack are difficult to reach so a friend showed me his idea of cutting a 1/4 inch hole and a smaller vent hole in the top of a 50cl bottle cap and using that as the reservoir for the Camelbak tube. I put the bottle in my Osprey side pocket. It's lite and you can easily monitor how much water remains so you don't need to carry more than you need. If I had a long stage in front of me I would buy a second 50cl of water and refill my reservoir bottle from that. One more hint: put the water bottle in the right, side pocket of your pack. It will be measurably cooler on that side which is the "shady" side since you are walking almost always westerly.

A camel back, you can then keep constantly hydrated. Mine is a 2 Ltr. Although I normally fill it to 1 1/2 Ltr point. Buen Camino
That's dandy!this fit right around the neck of any water bottle and then I just hooked it on the waist belt and carried in front. Easy to get to and left my side pockets open for other things.

I totally used my Sawyer water bag for wine!!I totally now want a collapsible water bottle, even though I don't technically need one. Maybe a dedicated bottle for picnic wine?

What i plan on is using an extra separate water bottle holder that has a shoulder strap. It was actually designed to hold a wine bottle. My Osprey pack isn't accessible either.Could my experienced peers please share with this Camino virgin ideas about how you carried your water?
