You're right, the Leatherman sure is handy. I guess I shy away from the bulk due to sitting in the car for extended periods. And at work carrying it (or the Spyderco) isn't a good option. Anyone know about the Leatherman Juice and the associated clear plastic belt holster? I wonder if that's easy to snap on and off the belt? Hmm...

The 1L (32oz) Nalgene bottle - good suggestion. With the spring water I guess I was thinking of something that would be sealed and not need a frequent change. The Nalgene bottle I carry with me probably should be in the pack, and instead carry the spring water bottles. Time to do a switch!
