Anyone ever noticed a fuel bottle about 16 oz or so with a holster or atttachable carry sleeve or anything? I have a line trimmer that sucks fuel and always seems to run out when I am the most distant from the jerry can, 16 oz more fuel would get me to about 2 hours of run time, enough to get to a coffee break or lunch rather than only halfway to it.
I might hit up a camping supply store, they have the fuel bottles I am sure but I havent seen a holster.
Ideas?

The bottles yup, I figure MEC will have some to choose from, its more of a carrying holster or something that I want, just havent searched too hard, I am sure there is one out there, if not just use a simple water bottle ouch or something I guess.

Ahhh...must learn to read posts most thoroughly.

What about clipping it onto the loops of your pants? Or fashion some rambo style lashing to carry a bunch of em like .50 cal shells. Then people would know you mean business.

Try some paintball stores or Canadian Tire. I used the msr fuel cans and a paintball ammo holster, which fit the cans well. Long time ago I did a lot of brush cutting work and some of the guys just used a caribiners and clipped it to the back of the shoulder harness. I like the hip pack better.

Paintball holsters, great idea. thanks.

Any REI-type store will get you squared away. They have the MSR brand fuel bottles. THey are bright red, so everyone will know it is fuel. The lid is big enough to clip a 'biner to, and they'll also have plenty of "holsters" for you to choose from.

This one is only $4 on rei.com http://www.rei.com/product/801291/outdoor-products-water-bottle-holder-with-carabiner

You might check out your local home center for possibilities. The ones here sell various for tool holding purpose lightweight containers that hook to your belt. When in the woods, I use one that holds two left over plastic drink containers, one for gas and one for chain oil. Some are large enough to hold your drink as well. I'll grab a picture.
