    If you use Facebook, I just saw a posting for a kids sleeping bag on the Bearfoot gear group. I think it was 50 dollars but don't remember the specs.

    I use a 1 oz nalgene plastic bottle from REI, with a screw on top. I put it in a small plastic bag just in case, but have had no leaks on 2 five day trips with lots of elevation changes.
