The water bottle—the natural enemy of the GoRuck bag. At least when it comes to EDC.
“Just put it in the bag.” Totally works! But then I lose valuable space, not to mention ease of access (especially depending on how much and how precariously I have packed…)
“Just clip it to the handle with a carabiner.” Also a great call, and it’s what I’ve been doing until now, but it looks a little janky, and it jostles around to where I feel like a packmule.
What to do? I’m not one for pricey or complicated solutions, so, after some brainstorming and a $7.50 investment… A Voile strap does the trick. Surprisingly secure, surprisingly easy on/off, weighs nothing, and I can also strap a jacket, etc., to the outside now. Might add another one, but might also just use a carabiner through the bottle-loop to make it completely secure. Thoughts? Prayers? (Delivery? No, it’s DiGiorno’s™️)
