I can't because my MTB doesn't even have the space for a single water
bottle of decent size. Even the bike dealer where I bought is said
"WHAT?? How could they now have that?". So I mounted one holder on the
handlebar (I have a bike with a cup holder now!) plus modded the rear
section for some heavy duty longhaul schlepping.

Naah, under the down tube, maybe even on top of the down tube close to
bottom bracket. And you could fit a real keg on top of the top tubes.


Under the downtube it gets dirty with horse poop, cow poop, bear poop
and dirty water, plus rock hits. Above there isn't enough space for a
decent size bottle, 28oz and such.


I used to carry two bottles on a carrier that mounted to the seat
rails and held the bottles behind the seat. ...


That won't last long on these here singletrack routes. Panniers are so
much more practical.


... There are also carriers that mount on the handle bars


That's what I have on the handlebar on my MTB. In the beginning I only
did it because its frame left me no other choice. Now I won't want to
miss it. It safely holds a 28oz bottle and I can grab that faster than
other riders with downtube bottles. Best of all, I won't discover
brownish stuff around the spout where it's hard to determine whether
than is just dirt or animal poop.


... and as a last resort I've carried
bottles in the pockets of my cycling jersey.


That sloshes around terribly during hard offroad trips. Plus I abhor
cycling jerseys on account of their fabric causing a skin rash. It's
T-shirts almost all year round. In the winter occasionaly a lumberjack
shirt, for the first few miles, then it goes into a pannier.

I use to carry, that is :-(


Did you stop cycling? I sure hope not. Or at least not totally.
