I am returning to backpacking after a 40 year absence. I currently use four nalgene type bottles for my water. Several hikers have suggested I change to one of the new hydration systems? But I'm all confused about which one to go with. And how do I keep my treated water from my untreated, etc. It is all so new to me and it seems rather expensive to "experiment" while seeking the right system. I don't use a purification filter because I'm not thrilled with the extra weight. A bottle of Agua Pure seems to do just fine. But between the big bladders and the Platypus bottles and the "camp water bags" and other hydration system component choices, I'm throughly confused. And how do you get water from a shallow, slow moving stream into some of those container with such small openings? I now use a small almost weightless cup to fill my 32 oz big mouth bottles.
So how do those of you who use hydration systems handle all you water management on the trail and in camp.
Thanx 4 the help.

Why is it when people say they are going fishing in Alaska and ask for suggestions they don't say where they are fishing?

It would help to know if you are going to be fishing in the saltwater, or in a river, or at a lake. Each place requires different gear. How can we help you with so little information?

I need to go to Raleigh later this week and wonder if I should go to Virginia Beach on the way or after I get there go somewhere on North Carolina Coast.
Not looking to catch anything specific just go where some action is.

Are the areas still a mess from weather?

I might also go to Falls Lake but I won't be bringing a boat. It is only10 minutes from my sisters house.
Thanks Marty

What is the best method to hook a shark? Every time I get one to take the bait I let them run and then I usually end up jerking the bait out of their mouth when I try to set the hook. I think maybe Im using the wrong hooks, what size should I use and should I use circle hooks because I currently do not. Is there a way to set up a leader with 2 or more hooks and is that a good idea? What is a good leader design? Im open to any suggestions, basically I need help from start to finish, from proper gear,methods of attracting and actually fighting the shark. thanks

Just took my tent down from a weekend of camping and I had spiders covered on the top of my tent. Is there anything that I can put on it to keep the spiders from taking up residence?
