[QUOTE="brant89, post: 2519159, member: 49553"] I believe WY is 200 feet from water, so we are well outside that. I’m not new to camping or backpacking in general, just backpack hunting. I have no problem making it through the night on 2L, but I often find myself having to refill my water half way through the day as well, drinking up to 6L a day. We pretty much only sleep at camp. We left our food near our water source since we were stopping there multiple times every day and to keep the bears from wandering into our camp, so we are at the water. However this was quite a ways from where we were hunting. I think this fall I will take an extra water bottle so I’m carrying 3L instead of only 2L so I can maybe get by without the mid-day refill. I might take your advice and see if I can find another area to camp a little further away. There is a good location about a quarter mile west of there, but I’m afraid we might be visibly exposed to one of the hills I want to glass. [/QUOTE]
