Bottle or Bladder..?

Conclusion Reached

The water bladder, making hands free drinking a reality sense whenever the water bottle became 'obsolete'. Each has its advantages, but upon further consideration I find myself leaning toward the bottle. On my NOLS trip I brought a 3 liter bladder, it worked well and I didn't have to fish a water bottle out of my pack when I wanted a drink. I got home and noticed some nicks on the surface, which turned out to be holes. A little duck tape took care of the issue, but the thought stayed with me. Had something punctured the bladder, I would not have had any back up. I would have been hung out to dry. It is my opinion that where sharp objects reside, my hydration system will not.

Case closed.
