    Hydration Bladders

    Okay, this is totally different than whatshizname's question. I need a source for an inexpensive 70ish-oz bladder (would prefer a nice wide opening for ice) that is not blue or brightly colored clear, grey, brown, black whatever just not colored, and has a good long tube. Already have a couple of entrants but want to see if anyone can beat my mark so far.

    The platypus thing looks okay although 26 bucks for just a bladder is well over my already reached mark (for bladder plus no-frills pack).

    I use it for hunting as well, specifically turkey hunting.

    you can only shoot male turkeys in the spring

    one of the colors of a male turkey's head is the exact shade of blue found on camelbaks

    dressing yourself head to toe in camoflage but for one single stripe the color of a turkey's head is begging for someone to shoot you

    getting shot sucks.

    Careful skiing-in-jackson...everyone already thinks that the boys in Wyo are Brokeback...we don't need them thinking we are Dicks too (Cheney that is). Sorry...couldn't help myself on that one.

    What about just making a camo sleeve for the hose and mouthpiece?
    Since then it's been a book you read in reverse, so you understand less as the pages turn.

    The things you find on the net.

    that's a lot harder than finding one that isn't blue

    BTW- this topic is done. Ordered one from Cabelas, sale price = less than the proform.
