Hello @Rob404. I too did not use to bring a canteen. But I have changed my mind. One does not share a water container with anyone in Africa, PH included, period, and ever thinner 1 Pint / 17 Fluid Ounces / 500 milli-Liter water bottles provided by most outfitters tend to burst inside field packs when you use them as a shooting field rest. The typical US army canteen weighs next to nothing and is virtually indestructible...
Admittedly it occupies space in the luggage, but I travel light enough that I have that space.
Just my rationale for taking one
