In the field I often carried two canteens on my belt and if I was wearing a large pack I might add a third canteen on the side of the pack. I hated going without water to drink. It also helped that I had witnessed soldiers who died from heat strokes partly do to dehydration. In some areas of campaigning during the Civil War good water was hard to find. This made me wonder if some Civil War soldiers would carry two canteens?
