Item: Camelback

[Roshi (DayZ) 397]

A camelback might be a good idea for those fancy hiking packs - decreases the need for canteens if you find a pack with a water bladder and hose attachment build in. Would still encumber in proportion to the volume of liquid you are carrying of course. Some packs might have em, others not. Could also be faster to drink from than rummaging around for a canteen from your pack (but might need its own animation).

i like it. The other thing that could be done would be to have canteens able to be hung from bags or vests, as they quite often have straps or webbing (saving two spaces in your bag.. maybe a max of 2 canteens). not bottles though, they would have to go in bags

I like the idea, one thing I would add is since we have a molle variant vest is the ability to have a molle camel you can weave into your vest for a more modular equipment set up.
