<html><body><div>Greetings, we do have plenty of squirt caps in the supplies. I just couldn't find the large bottles I used to buy at Wal mart and we were on our way to the event at the time. Bummer all around. Didn't realize the tops wouldn't fit until we were there getting ready. It has been 2 years since I used that stuff myself. We had clorox water on hand and I know it was used as best as it could be. If you reuse bottles for each event you need to get the bucket ahead of time and sterilize all used bottles before the event, throw away messed up ones and replace. Been there done that. Yes it was a bummer not finding the big bottles in a pinch . I am sorry about that as well. But next year we will know better ahead of time. That is where having a waterbearer in the position does a Barony good! :) Just sayin.xo<br></div><div><br>On Sep 26, 2010, at 01:53 PM, Charlie Durbin <charlesdurbin@austin.rr.com> wrote:<br><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div link="blue" vlink="purple" lang="EN-US">

are essential as people are less likely to put their mouth on them, but if they
do then they can be sanitized. One of the problems we had with waterbearing for
defender was the lack of squirt tops and once someone puts their mouth on the
bottle it cannot be used anymore for other people. I am sure you can see the sanitary
reasoning behind this. If a couple of people donated a case of water 1L or 44oz
size, the bottles can be used for many events and the squirt tops can be
sanitized between individual uses. A good waterbearing setup should have at
least 20 of these bottles at a minimum in order to keep a flow of lids being
sanitized and plenty of bottles going around to the fighters without a lot of
rushing.</span></p>

dasani ones, we have a 12 pack right now from sam's we're going through.
The larger ones though, but not as big as 2L, those work well at wars with big
melees and such but for list field waterbearing the 1L or so size works well. <br>

After this past Defender, it was good to assess our waterbearing
supplies. We seriously need bottles with the squirt caps. If any of
you would like to do the Barony a HUGE favor and an easy one at that, buy the
water bottles that are good size like 1L or so, with the spout tops on them,
and when you drink the water donate the bottle and spout to the Barony.
We really need to get a supply of them ready, cleaned etc for our next
event. <br>

Cheers!<br>
