You can also get caps that have smaller screw caps on the top. Such an upgrade from the normal ones if you hate the huge drinking hole like I do.
Here's the one that I purchased.
Glass doesn't stain with tomatoes/tomato sauce.
Mason lids are ubiquitous and are easy to replace when lost or worn out.
My mason jar lids will never come off on accident.
8/16/32 oz sizes are available for various compartmentalization
If you wanted to get crazy you could probably come up with can-able recipes that you could keep on the shelf for months.
Because while you might not be certain your tupperware isn't leaking carcinogens into your food, I'm certain my glass isnt.
Because mason jars fit perfectly stable into my padded MOLLE pouch on the exterior of my bag, making accidents isolated from my valuables, and not necessitating another thing to carry.
My mother has mason jars from 50 years ago that she still uses to can, so in terms of sustainability glass is hard to beat. All the components are obtainable and recyclable. Plastics on the other hand are oil-byproducts and can be quality-degraded when recycled.
You can get them for "free" with various brands of food-items (spaghetti, jams, etc)
Calling people hipsters on reddit is hipception.
I would like to second this, and also recommend buying some sort of sipper top, as nalgenes can be tricky to drink from while walking or doing anything other than standing due to their big mouth.
They have the 32 oz. bottles with a narrow mouth. It's a little more work to clean those ones, but you just squeeze a bit of soap in, run hot water, tighten the lid and shake it. Then rinse.
Also, you can get something like this.
If widemouth Nalgene bottles are your jam, you might also dig this.
As someone who likes widemouth bottles because they're easy to clean, and also possesses the superpower of dribbling all beverages down my front, this is a lifesaver. Or a shirt saver, at the very least.
Humangear caps are pretty good replacement.
Check Amazon and get you a capcap It makes drinking out of the Nalgene a lot easier.
i use use a wide mouth nalgene bottle with the on the fly lid. its for one handed use while driving at work. the bottles are virtually indestructible and the lid seals well too with the extra safety latch.

I use a Nalgene bottle with a neoprene sleeve.
I have to disagree with anyone who says you must bring a bag. You almost certainly do not need a bag unless you have extenuating circumstances, and I pretty much refuse to bring one because I don't like a) the bag line and b) managing it in crowds, worrying about it on rides, etc.
Wear pants with real pockets (I tend to wear men's shorts). One front pocket can fit my prescription sunglasses. The other can fit my mini-wallet in which I have my credit card or two, my ID, my AP, a health insurance card, etc.- ONLY THE BASICS, no full wallet- and a little fabric zipper pouch (sort of like these) where I keep small items- lotion, meds (ibuprofen, pepto, etc. in the little travel tubes you can get), bandaids, and so on. A couple ponchos fit easily into a back pocket, and my phone can go in the other (or whichever pocket you prefer to have it in...or a bra, as long as you put it screen-out to avoid getting sweat on it). I've also done cargo shorts if I feel like I need more capacity.
My husband often brings one of these (well, similar) for a water bottle, and he'll pack a foldable backpack that he can pull out just in case he wants one later in the day. One of us also usually has an Anker battery in one of our pockets, though last trip I grabbed a FuelRod since they're smaller and I go enough that it felt like it was worth it.
If I absolutely must wear a dress that has no pockets, I have a small clutch with a strap that I can just put around the strap of my dress and it generally still doesn't count as a "bag" for the bag lines, and is small and secure enough that I don't worry about my stuff on rides (because it's physically clipped to my dress).
The only thing I can't address is snacks, as I just grab them in-park if I'm eating them at all. I also don't use sunscreen (I know, I know), but you could likely fit a travel size in one of the little zippered pouches easily enough.
This has worked for...6 trips going, now.
I keep my 64 ouncer in one of these. Works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019COFX3S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I prefer my water room-temp so I go with a wide-mouth 1L Nalgene with a humangear capCAP (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002NNISS8). All the benefits of filling a wide mouth combined with the convenience of drinking from a narrow.
Have you considered using a flask instead of an individual packet? I have used this and filled one flask with slightly watered down hammer gel and just sipped on it.
Depending on what shorts you wear you might even be able to get away with tucking something in your pocket or clipping one on.
Its a splashguard and it’s extremely convenient with the widemouth nalgene.
Yes, they are many, I bought a few from REI and they fit my 32oz Hydro :)

A. Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World https://www.amazon.com/dp/1455570249/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_vHE3AbY88JWM8
I have the book (actually its my wife's) haven't read it yet, but basically the main premise is to make your bed first thing after you get up for the same basic reason of having made one small accomplishment.
B. Re: water: if you know you aren't drinking enough water, you're probably chronically dehydrated. If you think you're drinking enough, you still probably aren't. Remember the general rule of thumb has long been 8, 8-oz. glasses each day, which is 64 oz or half a gallon.
I drink between 1-2 gallons each day and really cannot overstate the benefits it's had for me. The biggest thing for me is I used to have chronic neck & shoulder / upper back pain, which usually devolved into an almost crippling headache just about each day.
Turns out I wasn't getting enough water. 🙄
I like my water COLD, so I got myself a 64 oz. stainless double walled jug off amazon - a generic one - the HydroFlask brand are stupid over priced and they're really all the same. Keeps my water ice-cold until its ready for a refill from one of 5, 48 oz. nalgenes I keep in the fridge at all times.
That's how I count my water intake too, since I know the main jug is 64 oz.
I also found a really cool carrier for it: GoNovate 64 oz Pouch / Sleeve with Carrying Handle for Hydro Flask Bottles, w/ 2 Pockets and Adjustable Shoulder Strap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019COFX3S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_-ME3Ab437CY64
Needless to say, anytime I'm going to be out of the house for more than 30 min, I bring this puppy along.
Capcap! I love it so much. Works great and fits almost any bottle, so you don't have to rebuy bottles. https://www.amazon.com/humangear-HG0014-Capcap-Water-Bottle/dp/B00FM4DK56
You may consider just squeezing them into a gel flask or two and either holding them or putting them on a belt designed for them?
Something like this maybe http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Direction-Gel-Flask-Clip-on/dp/B000SE5T5E
Update: I just ordered a cap on amazon that looks just like the handle cap but also has a straw. This seems to be the the best of both worlds and was cheap on amazon!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PVR8NR4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can use C-Clips instead of the normal clips. Amazon Page here I use these because the back clip would get caught on my office chair once or twice throughout the day and would unsnap it from my belt. These C-Clips take longer to put on and off, but they are hardly noticeable on jeans I assume the same would be said for khaki's.
So I found a standard mouth straw lid, which is The Coldest Water Standard Size Mouth Hydro Sports Straw Cap Flip Top Lid - Multi-Compatible with Standard Flask Mouth Size Stainless Steel Water Bottles https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017O9DLQY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TB7pDb8SMJNVZ but I couldn’t find a flip lid, only one that’s similar to a chug lid which is bottlebottle Flip Top Lid Replacement Cap for Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Bottle with Carrying Loop Handle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MC3QFTN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hE7pDb0ZYV76D
Best investment I ever made for mine.
If you want a pocket prybar, I'd usually recommend just getting a pocket prybar.
I have one of these, by leatherman.
J-clips kinda suck since they don't transfer weight to your belt.
I've used Comp-Tac C clips and they're pretty good. Minimally visible like the j clips, but they actually put the weight on your belt. Only $10.49 with free prime shipping for 2 black and 2 light brown clips.
water bottle is a 2L Hydro Flask. i love this thing, it'll keep water ice cold after being in the sun all day: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005G5YS0C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and the case i use is (i removed the shoulder strap): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019COFX3S/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
IMO, a major upgrade to you Yeti is to get the straw lid instead of the one that comes with it. This one I wouldn't buy it at Amazon though. Any store that sells Yeti will have it for $10.
Also good points. If you want the best of both worlds, here's a dual lid:

I got the Sendestar straw lid that someone recommended here a week or so ago. So far it’s been great. I’ve noticed a tiny bit of condensation on top of the lid a couple of times but nothing bad. Suction is great and hasn’t leaked one bit.
Sendestar Straw Lid for 12-64oz Wide Mouth Sports Water Bottle with 2 Straws and 1 Brush (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PVR8NR4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qW-wDbKPRWW8C)
can't go wrong with CompTac, i use their C-clips and never have had any issues.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KRHO9BC?m=A1ZZIFZTGVOCXG&ref_=v_sp_detail_page
Just need to make sure to use them with a good belt.
Nalgene qt size wide mouth is awesome. Add a Human Gear Cap and neoprene sleeve. I have several of them that I rotate through the freezer with about 1 inch of water in them. I pull one out in the morning fill it with water put it in the sleeve and I'm on my way for the day. The widemouth allows me to add ice if I choose but the small mouth makes it easier to drink from. Very durable.

If your Miata has the horizontal bar that goes behind the seats, I recommend these:
Rothco Molle Water Bottle Pouch,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GIVZJWY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Can fit a 1L bottle no problem and not super inconvenient to reach.
i like the spalshguard insert
Admin storage is a place to store misc stuff. Tools, pens, notepads, whatever.
For hydro, you could try a water bottle pouch, or a small backpack.
You can also get a wide mouth and buy a replacement lid like this to get the best of both worlds.
You might try looking into something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Guyot-Designs-340015-SplashGuard-Universal-Black/dp/B000TYHH80/. (Disclaimer: That's literally the first thing that came up when I did a very, very quick and dirty Amazon search. You might want to do a little more research before buying anything.) If the water bottle you have is the type I'm thinking of, these fit into the mouth of the bottle and essentially reduce the opening to the size of a regular disposable water bottle. Helpful for not spilling on yourself.
How do you like the Yeti with the hotshot cap?
I have a 12oz CamelBak Chute with its hot cap, and the only thing that keeps this from being perfect is the steeper sipping angle of the hot cap.
Here’s a link to it. You like push a button and the cap flips open lol. I actually really like it so far and it has a carrying handle too :)

No clue where you are getting that price from, but you're getting ripped off.

I have 2 nalgenes with these screw on caps. The cap is essential to me and I prefer them strongly over the “sip cap” style.
I use the Humangear Capcap. It works well enough for my purposes, but it is not leak proof. If you turn the bottle upside down with the Capcap on, water will eventually leak through.
yup.

The SPIbelt with gel loops is good for a marathon.
A gel flask holder is good if you buy gel refills.
I just bought a PocketToolX and a set of leatherman bits; and love it.

Are capcaps better than the Nalgene brand narrow mouth cap?

Just posted a few options I've tried here - https://www.reddit.com/r/djimavic/comments/5di9r3/super_compact_mavic_cases_im_trying_out_a_few
Got one of these on the way too. I'm thinking if I can keep the controller and one spare battery in the attached accessory pocket it will be perfect.
This splashguard I've never ordered anything over $25 and I cannot drink my nalgene anymore without getting it all over me becaus eof the air bubble >_> junkyard dogs thanks for the contest!
You should pickup a CapCap.
I got one for my nalgene and I've never been happier.
I run hydration pouch directly attached to my vest/PC. You can run a backpack style hydration pouch (popular for using with HPA tanks). You could get a canteen if you're running ALICE equipment, and there are also MOLLE pouches designed to hold waterbottles.
http://www.amazon.com/Rothco-Molle-Water-Bottle-Pouch/dp/B018MTXSYK
If you bring a water bottle to the airport, get a clip for it so you can attach it to your bag or the seat back pocket on the plane for easy access.
I use one of those metal S’well bottles and I bought a $6 silicone clip off amazon that comes with a carabiner clip. I can switch it from water bottle to water bottle, holds tight. Never travel without this little clip. Water Bottle Clip
A Nalgene + https://www.amazon.com/Nalgene-OTF-Bottle-Lid-Blue/dp/B0088LPPT4
They're just plain old water bottles.
My other half was a teacher and we needed something that was absolutely 100% completely leakproof and airtight. (Little munchkins with a standard shaker bottle = dangerous accident waiting to happen).
I recently ordered this lid and it's been working well for me, but it's only been a couple days. I noticed the flow is much better AND holding this is a lot easier than the current Hydro Flask lid. I had many accidents and dropped my flask many times with the other lid because of the weird position the loop hole was. This one is much easier to hold and does keep my drink colder longer. Apparently the Hydro Flask straw lid isn't insulated. They do have a redesign coming, but who knows when? For now, this new lid works and does the job well. If you're looking for a pour spout lid, Takeya lids are popular. I've recently gifted these to some and they seem to prefer this style lid over Hydro Flask's flex cap or straw lids. Hope this helps!

Eveau ParaValve The advertising is a little weird, but the product itself is really well engineered. It doesn't leak and you don't get any air in the straw.
Edit: I should mention that I'm not a spokesperson for them or anything like that. I just like the product.
H2JO By: GSI outdoors this guy lives on my hydro flask full time. Also does great work with loose leaf tea when I want to switch it up.

Pair that with the camelbak twist lid which is actually spill/backpack proof. It does not leak and you can have hot coffee/tea all morning.

I just dump in my grounds or tea into the hydro flask or nalgene add hot water and screw them both back on and I am good to go. Bonus is you have cold brew later in the day if you dont drink it all in the AM.
As said cooling towels, keep hydrated. For hot days I picked up this nalgene container and insulation cover. I like this cause Night before I'll fill it half way with water and stick in freezer. Ensures I have ice cold water then I carry an igloo cooler of ice water to fill it up as needed.
As for LLV I open "passenger side" window and two vents in the back to try get some airflow but other than that not much
I'm about to blow your fucking mind.
Click here for all your walking and drinking troubles to go away.
I use a nalgene all the time and this thing is quite possibly one of the best products ever made 10/10 would reccomend
