For longer rides, road, trail, touring etc I have tried using two large bike bottles which is ok but wont get more than 1.5ltr I know I could stop and buy more water if there was a shop around at the right time, but thats not always an option.
Ive also tried a hydration backpack with 2ltrs plus a bottle, but this makes my back sore and ass hurt on long distances.
Ive seen handlebar and saddle mounts for bottles, (might not use the saddle one for bikepacking as I use a saddle pack), also seen people use a frame bag with a bladder in it.
What are your thoughts / methods?
