Adding extra hydration to a CamelBak backpack
I've had a CamelBak backpack for years (a Rim Runner that I bought in 2005), and for Christmas treated myself to a new MilTac H.A.W.G. as one of the zips on the old Rim Runner was starting to break and, well, I wanted something new.
I'm very pleased with the backpack, but one old issue persists; the 3l of water just isn't enough on 4+ hour hikes in hot weather (I'm in Australia, so it's summer here).
Has anyone had any success adding a second hydration reservoir to a pack? Is there typically space in the main reservoir pocket?

Looking at the product, I don't quite comprehend why it would seem difficult to add a second reservoir, unless you aren't talking about a second hydration pack itself.
I think I trek around in similar conditions (India) as you do, and I typically face this issue, and for that I do the simplest thing I can think of. Carry 3 bottles (1L each). When hydration bladder get empty, I refill it with water in the bottles. I plan to upgrade from hard bottles to collapsible water packs which I can place where I find enough volume for it to accommodate.
