Bottled Water vs Canteens

With the environmental movement taking hold, many people are turning away from bottled water. It is well known that Evian (R) Natural Spring Water is naive spelled backwards. Why spend money for water when you can get it for free?

While I understand it can sometimes be convenient to purchase water when on the road, I make a habit out of filling reusable water bottles with our well water.

Recently, I noticed an online ad pointing to a canteen manufacturer. Long used by the military and outdoorsmen, could the old-fashioned canteen be making a comeback?

Excerpt from the US Canteen website:

“A bottle of water at the movies costs $3. In the vending machine at high school a bottle costs $1. Before I made the switch I was spending $3 a day on water — $1,095 a year!”
