Great and easy to make idea, thanks! :) A small tip: if you just wanna be extra safe that the zip ties don't move and maintain the same length you set them at, fill their locking mechanism with some powder (baking soda, flour, basically anything...) and then add a generous drop of superglue. It will soon become rock-solid and make everything permanent and extra sturdy :)

I have a Sierra Designs backpack that has a built in bottle holder. This is an incredibly useful feature. My Osprey overnighter and 4 Osprey daypacks do (did) not. Now all my Osprey's have a shoulder strap bottle holder. I have daughters so I used their hair ties instead of shock cord...Thank you!

Nice! I do this with a Nalgene bottle. I use paracord instead of zip ties, and I've secured it with the shock cord that's built in for trekking poles on my Osprey pack. I like your idea of adding shock cord to the backpack strap.

This is awesome! Helped me to have my water bottle in reach on one of my backpacks instead of having to resort to bladders which freeze too fast in winter; or putting it into my pack (not efficient). In the past I have tried misderably at creating a system for my water bottle. I always used my running pack for ski touring (its great for xc skiing though) also with a diy ski fix witch worked great, but storage is limited for what I need. No avalanche equippment fits into that one for example. Water bottles do fit nicely in the front of my running pack. My orthovox cross rider 18L is great but I miss the front water bottle holder. Now it fits great and I don't habe to put off my pack all the time (which I hate!). Also, I did it diferently than you but it's similar: I use an elastic for the top of the bottle, then strap around the bottle. Thats great too. Thanks for the idea.

I saw this video when you first posted it and thought it was genius. The only thing that I did different - I have long silicone tubes that I use and re-use as a straw. My husband took the cap of one of the bottles and drilled a hole for the silicone tube. He made it a tight fit. Then he drilled a needle sized hole in the cap to releave the vac created when using the straw. I attach one bottle to my strap and all I have to do is lean my head down and drink. I don't have to remove the cap or move the bottle around. When it is emply I switch out the cap to the bottle I have in my side pocket. Or I can just refill from my bladder. When traveling from home to trailhead I just cap the bottle with an intact cap and put the modified cap into a pocket so that 1- I don't forget it at home and 2- the bottle doesn't leak in transport. I also freeze my bottle the night before. The first bottle I am going to use I freeze it at a 45 degree angle so that the straw will got into the bottle in the morning and I can just top off the bottle with water at the trailhead. I hope that makes sense. d

Cheers for this! Will def use this method as I refuse to pay more in shipping to Canada than the price of the water bottle holder itself! Saved me quite a few bucks! I had no issues with my Osprey pack as the bottles go in sideways, but my UL pack is hard or impossible to reach. Subbed as well. Nice to see what others are hiking!

Update: Found a "water bottle belt clip" on amazon. Removed the webbing and zip tied the "female" end of the buckle to the upper shoulder daisy (I have vertical only, like your Gossamer). The other end of the buckle attaches to any water bottle size so you don't have to re-zip for a different bottle. Bottom is the same with the shock cord holding it in place. Hard to explain without photos but I think you can figure it out if you want to give it a go. Still...born out of your idea with this video.

I couldn't survive without zip ties, shock cord/cord locks, Velcro and duct tape. I use these items all around the house, even for half baked repairs because I live in a very old house and I am not about to put more time/money into it at my age. My mailbox / post has been held together with zip ties/duct tape for years.

Even simpler and more convenient: use an elastic cord loop at the top rather than cable ties & biner. Tie the elastic on, and form a loop with a cord lock. Cinch the cord lock just tight enough to hold the bottle securely but not so tight you can't just slip out the neck of the bottle. Easier than unclipping a biner every time you want a drink.
@vistaventures13433 жыл бұрын
I really like your idea on this. No prep necessary just grab a bottle and go. The way I have the length of the zip ties on my bottles I only need to pull the bottom of the bottle out of the shock chord. I don't have to undo the carabiner to take a drink. Also, I use 1 liter bottles which may be too heavy for your method. I'll definitely give it a shot and see how it compares. Thanks a lot for sharing!
