I'm carrying almost a gallon in my ALICE and a little more than a gallon in my messenger bag.

I'll only carry a little over a gallon most of the way, Bugging-out, but I'll need the first gallon to get through the populated area that I have to get through immediately after Bugging Out. I'll get rid of the bottles as I consume the first gallon, and hang onto the bottles of the second gallon so that I can refill them after I clear the partially civilized areas and then have the time and secured location to process drinking water.

I'm looking at 59 lbs of weight starting out, and less than 51 lbs at the end of the first 24 hrs. I will be at less than 43 lbs at the end of the second 24 hrs.
