[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 9029465, member: 6799660"] Now that we understand the goal, it makes sense. I guess I don't see any reason why you couldn't do so. I would think in a society where this happens, that more purpose-made devices would quickly spring into being (not unlike a modern inner tube, but shaped who-knows-how and called something delightfully vague like 'knight's beach friend' or 'Poseidon's pardons'). Ah, well then, carry on. I guess go with a string of waterskins. Note that this sounds like a 'perfectly sound in theory' solution which would end up failing spectacularly in practice (this one coming apart, the next catching on a branch and trying to strangle the wearer, etc.). And that if these were modern canteens, rope, and fasteners; using IRL medieval goatskin waterskins with whatever fastening devices available it could be even more chaotic (and hilarious, depending).
