Another handy trick is to take two socks, stockings and tie them together, or use a set of pantyhose, as a carrier for two bottles. If they are slit vertically near the top the bottles stay inside and the slit stays closed. A pair of bottles on each end the pair can be carried over a shoulder or around the neck.

Over the shoulder even a pair of two liter bottles can be easily carried without excessive wear or fatigue. Pantyhose are quite strong and will stretch to accommodate larger loads.

If your traveling over uneven terrain connecting the toes of the legs will help control the load and help preserve stability.
