Need a canteen? if you have an empty or soon to be empty mouthwash bottle, you have the beginnings of a one quart canteen. I recently made one of these based on an idea in a recent issue of Backwoodsman magazine. I took some strap material, attached two D rings so they were even with the shoulder of the bottle and ran them down one side under the bottom and up the other side. I used electrical tape to secure it to the bottle. The original guy used camo duct tape without straps and braided a lanyard to carry it. I then dug out a strap I had laying around and attached the hooks to the D rings and presto. I also scrounged a cloth bag that covered a Tito's vodka bottle from a bartender friend (I have a number of those type friends) and covered the bottle with that, cutting two slots for the side strap to come through. The only cost of this was the original price for the mouthwash. I even went as far as attaching a piece of chain to the cap and zip tied it around the neck so the cap wouldn't get lost. Have fun with this.
