Yo, Bubble toes (and Rawhide): I carried a water bag from Georgia to Maine, and always found it easier to sit at a picnic table or at the shelter to pump water. I used the Campmor product, self-standing, about $10. Holds several liters, and is very light weight and folds into a very small package. I kept mine in a baggie, inside my “water supply” bag, keeping it separate from my Katadyn Hiker filter. Good luck with your hike!
