I've been a bum bag user for many years, apart from a few years using a day pack. It seems to me that at least a couple of you have bum bags sired by the Tardis - I'm buggered if I know how so much can get jammed in.
I'm also a tad surprised at the focus on hydration, particularly in NZ. Nowadays I see the wisdom in carrying some sort of purification, and maybe .5 litre of water - just in case, but 1.5L ? Either I'm part camel or myself and a couple of others in this thread are a bit unusual.
I notice no mention of the TwinNeedle hunters' belt and pouch. Would seem to me to more attractive than the Capsule for a hunter ?
My other surprise is the apparent popularity of the rather pricy Hydrapack Flux, instead of a used PET bottle. What justifies the price ? Is it the ability to squeeze the air out and stop sloshing noise, or is there some other benefit that I am missing ?.
