While looking for more products for the Hobbit Hole "troop tech" project, I came across some items that might be useful here, or at least amusing.

First, an adapter for standard water bottles that includes a carabiner to attach the bottle to various rings. The main part seems to be rubber, and is pulled over the neck of the bottle:

Next, for lazy dog owners, a "snack shooter" that launches doggie disk treats:

And the last item from X-treemgeek catalog: the knifespork:

Finally, for biking or trail riding, a frontpack

Inside, it has all the room you need for ID, cellphone, money, MP3 player, and large handgun:

Does the spork vendor have a website. I'm thinking I *need* one or more of those for backpacking.

Hey... that frontpack is pretty stinkin' cool. I like it a lot.

The snackshooter would be fun, but you know... there's a downside to training a dog to jump up and out front of a person pointing a handgun. :-)

The knifespork cracks me up. Poor perverted little thing...and the colors kinda add insult to injury.

If those drink holder carabiners are not good enough, there exist ones that are. I own three different types. The smaller one I took to Japan back in '03 and LOVED it. I spend basically the whole trip with a bottle of Pocari Sweat hanging from my belt on that thing. It is like having a canteen that, when empty takes up no space and weighs almost nothing. Now I never go on trips without one in my bag, just in case a hiking trip breaks out and I need it.

There's some potential in the front back, the one-size fits all holster needs work, but a good idea.
