Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I'd ditch the 3L res and get a 2L cnoc and drink from a smartwater bottle.
  • Another vote for CNOC, but get the heavier duty one.
  • Cnoc bags\bottles are good
  • Cnoc makes some great collapsible water bottles that would be perfect for this. Very light, reusable, and can be smashed down and put in a bear can very easy.
  • TL;DR—bring a CNOC.

Cons

  • A CNOC is too heavy for UL backpacking: use a Platypus instead.
  • I love the CNOC bag for filtering, but it's just dead weight when not carrying water. It's also too floppy to use as a bidet
  • ditch the cnoc, use platypus bottles instead.
  • A regular 1 liter supermarket bottle instead of the CNOC saves you 30 gram. The 1 liter reservoir is way too heavy.
  • Our kit was spartan but safe: Morakniv, CNOC w/ Sawyer filter (see below for questions)... I think I stripped the threads on the CNOC cap by accident, because now it leaks a little.

Will add that after weighing it in, but replacing the Sawyer and Cnoc should drop about a hundred grams.
