My biggest challenge is keeping the bladder clean and airing it out. The small screw-top openings made this difficult.

Platy’s new Big Zip’s are AMAZING! The Big Zip has been a leap forward for me. The problem Platy had in the past is their zipper coming open during carry. The new version fixes this.

I have heard they are great but I want to still be able to use my aquamira frontier pro that will screw right onto it.

DAMMIT!!! I work food too and had the idea for the bulk drink bladders, oh well. Its a great idea basic soda ones come as big 5 gallon though I’ve seen a few 2.5 gallon. great things for a base camp not so much for on the go. For suspending them an idea I had was smaller bulk onion bags, heavy mesh nylon like material. Feed the noozle through the drawstring opening at the top. Haven’t tested it may work out though. This is really weird had this idea like a 7 days ago… Good video though

Interesting video.
I just go for short walks and I reuse an empty coke bottle or reuse empty lucozade water as they have the bite nozzle.

I carry the collaspible water bottles and one nalgene when out, I might have to change over to a gatorade bottle.
