The importance of a Nalgene Water Bottle (military point of view)

[@rsanque]

Great vid, brother. “Ran over by a tank...” literally laughed out loud on that one.

[@tlisu4727]

"one of them got ran over by a tank... it is what it is." SUBSCRIBED!

[@Errcyco]

When hiking, you can use your Nalgene as a measuring cup and put BOILING water in it and make a dinner with no plastic leeech. You can also drop it full onto jagged rocks or run them over and they refuse to crack. Basically, you buy one and they last forever. I had one 32oz hiking the Appalachian Trail and it was my godsend... saved my ass many times.

[@mario3804]

Whoa had no idea you can do that, thank you for your insight.

[@Errcyco]

@@mario3804 man it’s so fun. Boil 1 cup of water then throw in some ramen instant noodles with the powder packet thing and shake, let that sit for 10 minutes and boom, you have a warm mobile dinner and cleaning the Nalgene is as easy as a quick rinse in water. Great video tho man! We need more EDC reviews like these.

[@radnukespeoplesminds]

It will probably leech BPS in your water but i get the feeling this audience doesnt care.

[@TealJosh]

@@radnukespeoplesminds Do you mean plastic BPA? Nalgene completely got rid of BPAs in their products in 2008.

[@MarshRat]

I've seen these around but didn't think they'd survive my lifestyle but now I'm going to give one a try. Thanks for the info

[@loganslotkin9055]

What are you doing 😭😭😭😭😭

[@e.s.l5861]

It’s incredible how many uses they really have due to thier spot on lid seal. Hot water bottle, dehydrated meal pre soak container, very good piece of kit

[@zachstraxx9899]

Thank you for the info, and for your service.

[@euphoria2339]

Thank you for your service brother 🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@justsomesaltyboi8716]

right on man, i just got myself a 48oz "clear" nalgene for when I'm out biking for those long rides to go out fishing at the local spots. i haaated biking for ~9 miles and not having any water to drink. happy to have one and yes, they feel very rigid. i remember the cloudy "clear" ones from when i was 7 or 8 and i never got to know what they were called until 16-17 years later. very good stuff man. thank you for your service. id join the military if i wasn't out of shape and had lactose intolerancy with ADD. thumbs up from me :)

[@FirstOfTheMagi]

A lot of great examples in the video. I recently got a nalgene because of the many points you made: cheap, durable, and can easily keep track of water consumption. I've had a YETI 26oz, RTIC 32oz, and Klean Kanteen 20oz I believe and hope to get a HydroFlask to try out soon, but you just can't beat the Nalgene at its price point, effectiveness, and durability.

Thank you for watching.

[@e.s.l5861]

A tank.... if it survived that I’d be afraid to sleep in the same room as it

[@mollyhohenzollernstewart7444]

E.S. L *with it

[@Tex_I_Can]

Good to hear. I know lots of people that use them but none of them could ever articulate why. They just bought them becuse somebody else had one. I normally carry a single wall stainless bottle, but I will be adding one of these. Thank you for the information!

[@terrencerobinson7553]

Thank you for your service first of all. Can utilize the bootle for carrying your edc items.

[@preparedforoutdoors]

Nalgenes taking hot water well has a great use during cold weather… fill them up with hot water at night, put them in your sleeping bag, and you've got a source of warmth other than you. They're usually still warm to the touch in the morning when I do this.

[@sassytbc7923]

Thank you for the video and thank you for your service

[@alittlekingly616]

Awesome video thank you for the info and your sacrifice

[@knifelore1647]

New to your channel, I saw your 2nd I.D. patch an already like. So wish you well!

[@reikyfoxxe1847]

I had a knockoff wide mouth nalgene before I even knew what a nalgene was, dollar general sold them and I used it for a while, but one drop busted it. Went online looking for a replacement and came across nalgene, decided on the canteen shaped one, the Oasis. I keep finding them at goodwill for 1 buck or less, I have cleaned and given away so many of these things, I have like 6 personally, Ive had to stop myself from getting them unless its a unique one.

[@travisweldmaster7815]

One of my tall ones come unclipped from my biner climbing a latter up side of a hospital 2 story's and some change to pavement, 3 years ago, I'm just about to sanitize it as we speak(aka it's still kicking)

[@TheRealCobraBurnout]

Yes, they work good. Nice vid

[@gunnwild1]

My girl uses one for the "particle" reason you talked about

[@ruzzellp]

Thanks for your point of view.

[@scottf.3808]

Thanks for the info...Good stuff....

[@Saiarts_yt]

I do agree with most of what you say on your opinions on nalgene water bottle. I would like to find out because both nalgene bottle and both the kidney style canteen are adaptable, what are your opinion of the two styles of bottles (nalgene and/or military canteen)? Which one would you carry and why?

[@BOHEMIANHUNTINGCLUB]

Those are pretty neat!

[@mikeoporto6365]

Great video 👍🏼

[@matthewsabin1841]

I have a bunch of them all different sizes some are almost 20 years old

[@travisweldmaster7815]

Actually almost cut the cap strap into the way it landed on the corner but still hasn't broke

[@TheRtari]

what type of pouch do you use on your flak for your bottle?

[@stolasgoetia93]

CamelBak and Nalgene are the best two water bottles anyone can buy.

[@TheRedneckprepper]

TY

[@ozzieblackcherry0707]

Do i need a wide mouth type or normal?

[@frwd87]

Wide mouth for carrying extra water and when you are stationary. Narrow or normal for when on the go and moving. I have both.

[@AA1PR]

its sad they actually make a canteen but its so flimsy it sux

[@TealJosh]

It's a great piss bottle.
