Water system for the Fish River Canyon in 2026.

- Clean water goes in Mazama MGO 1lt bottles. Probably taking two.
- Electrolytes are mixed in Thirsti 500ml bottle (This is a disposable bottle purchasable in South Africa and much like a Smart Water bottle).
- Water filter is a Platypus Quickdraw and a CNOC 2lt bag only for for dirty water.
- A drinking pipe is connected to one of th MGO bottles.

Water situation is different this year than for the very dry 2024 we experienced, so final decisions will only be made closer to the time. However one always wants to have at least 2lt of clean water, but having the capacity for 3lt is better.
