Interesting. Didn't occur to me to even consider hiking where I don't have daily access to water. In my usual haunts (Willmore Wilderness, Rocky Clearwater Recreation Area) we usually are crossing a stream every hour or so. On Coral creek, going up toward Job Pass, we cross the creek 22 times in the space of 3 miles. I've always been able to get away with just using an old 1 liter pop bottle.

Addition 3 yrs later: Summer of 2018 I did a trip and ran out of water above timberline. In addition to our water bottles, we had a 2 liter bottle. Gone by about 2 p.m. Now I carry a 2 liter bottle per person, and the dog has a liter in his pack. If we aren't going above timberline, we carry them empty.
