Heh, that's exactly the one I'm looking at. The mouth is still a little small, accessing content would be hard without dumping everything out first.
Of course a few ziplock bags will be included no matter what I end up using.
How about using a wide mouth 32 oz Nalgene bottle for the kit storage?
You can fit a lot of kit in one these bottles which can be carried in your back pack or attached to the outside on a lashing strap etc. Since you always need water, carry a SS bottle that can be used for boiling the water if needed.
If I use that, I might as well use a SS bottle for storage, no? For actual water use I still prefer a transparent one so I can see how much is left with a glance.
