I LOVE my Thermos Intak Steel Flip Grip bottle from Target ($20). It’s insulated so it keeps things cold for 12 hours – even sitting in a hot car! Fill it in the morning and it stays ice cold all day. If needing to be carried I had a bottle holder that it fits in perfectly.

We use bottled water when camping – just easier for the ice chest and double filter our tap water (under sink filter and filter in refrigerator).

I have been using the disposable plastic bottles, but reusing them for awhile.

I would like to find something else, like stainless. I like glass, but not for carrying around with me.

I used to recycle. It was a waste of time. When I’d bring my bottles and cans to the Ralph’s on Lake Forest, the semi-functional attendant would give me an earful about either washing or not washing my cans depending how she felt that day, and was often closing up an hour early because the sun wasn’t strong enough to power her environmentally correct receipt printer. Now, I toss them and let the dumpster divers deal with the hassle. And I’m happier for it!

I use good, old fashioned Tupperware with the sippy and straw lids.

I voted stainless and here’s why – Camelbak stainless 16 oz. bottle. This is a great invention much like the Weber kettle BBQ. It was pricey at $30 from REI but it really keeps things cold and a half dozen cubes of ice will still be frozen 5 hours later.

All the healthy beautiful people drink throw away bottles and have no idea how much this has added to landfills in the last 15 years.

I use plastic. When my trash cans get filled, I take them to get recycled.

I use the Rubbermaid BPA-free #5 bottle. I have dropped it, rolled it, found it upsidedown in my beach bag- never had a leak. I use it for my iced tea and water. It’s been great!
