Here is a link to a page that had a similar set up. Click on Survival Kit in the upper left hand corner.


The page is set up for Internet Explorer only. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I use Mozilla Firefox because I'm a geek. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I looked at that page with IE, and I don't see anything on there that's IE specific. It's just a simple page with frames. Frames are pretty bad design IMHO, but never mind that. So I pulled up mozilla, and I get a "404 Not Found" in both frames! It's like they were deliberately blocking mozilla for no apparent reason. Either that, or it had an alternate version for mozilla, that's missing. Why I don't know, because the pages I saw should work fine on IE.

You see the stupidest things on the internet sometimes.

If you build a page to use ActiveX, which is an IE-specific, it won't work at all in Mozilla. ActiveX is a huge security risk, so Mozilla is not ActiveX-enabled. The browser wars continue.

"I worried about where I'd store everything while I was using the bottle, but that's what pockets are for. Or, in my case, the rest of the BOB. "

Store a 1 gallon ziplock in your bottle. Put everything in the baggie and then you can use your bottle. Baggies tend to be short term solutions so you might think about either making or buying a nylon stuff stack the same size at the bottle with a belt loop sewn on the side. Remove the contents from the bottle and put in nylon stuff sack. Hang stuff sack by belt loops on belt.

Instead of belt loops you could use a carabiner. A much cheaper alternative would be a metal shower curtain ring. A 12 pack of shower curtain rings is only a couple of bucks and you could put a "carabiner lite" in all of your kits.

My Goodwill store had Eddie Bauer Nalgene bottles for $1 last week. Picked up a couple on the cheap. They also had off brand polycarbonate bottles for a $1.
