I'm taking a Katadyn Base Camp into the BWCA for a week long trip. I was about to purchase a Dromedary or other similar product, when it occurred to me that I might just use the Base Camp as my water storage device. Does anybody see any reason why I wouldn't just fill the Base Camp with lake water, hang it from a tree, and leave the water in it until I want to fill a water bottle, cooking pot, etc.?

no not really except if its sunny the water might get warm. Its kinda heavy to be carring around to. But what you want to do with it will work.
