Super secret storage

My favorite subject. I think I must have been some sort of burrowing animal in another life 'cuz I love me some hiding stuff. Either a burrowing animal or a fighter pilot. I can never tell.




So throw away water bottles are out these days. It's all about reusable bottles. I bought my first tiny plastic bottle in months today and it felt weird. I had an empty nalgene in my car, just nowhere to fill it up.

But if we're gonna be carrying these reusable bottles around all the time, why don't we build some extra uses into them. The lid could be made into an extra storage spot without much trouble. Or the base. Or more tricky, but far cooler, a removable cylinder in the middle that you could fill with whatever. And you could fill the bottle with water and it would look like all your shit is underwater.

I'll give you a second to settle down from how cool that would be.

So yes, you lose a little room for water. But you gain room for everything else you're always carrying. Keys, change, advil, floss, bullet casings, a lighter, bootlegged Eric Chaves t-shirts...

But seriously. $10 for a boring ass piece of plastic or $15 for a boring ass piece of plastic with kick ass storage hidey holes? I thought you'd make that decision. Good job.
