What water system actually works best?
I will preface by saying I have been camping but not backpacking yet. I’m in the planning and buying stages. I currently have a sawyer filter with a cnoc bag that I figure I will filter into smart water bottles for now. If I keep this system I want to upgrade the bottles because I don’t like the idea of reusing smart water bottles. I would use a hydration hose adapter ran along my pack strap. I’ve seen people swear by katadyn be free and using that to filter into another soft flask and keeping both in shoulder strap holsters. I’ve seen a similar system recommended using hydrapak sport bottles. What is actually the most practical and user friendly in real world use? My main concern is it being extremely practical and easy to access because I know the more accessible the water is the more likely I am to stay hydrated. I’m not going on any crazy thru hikes or anything. 2-3 day trips to start. Longer trips to follow eventually. I just want to buy everything the smartest way I can up front to avoid redundant purchases later.
Update: Thank you everyone for the amazing responses! I will stick with what I have for a few trips at least. I am going to add a drinking tube ran along my pack strap and some aquatabs as backup.
