the only parts of those mess kits that i ever used were the plastic cup, and the small kettle and lid. the frying pan was too thin and therefore useless, and the bowl/plate was a bad idea to begin with... too big, hard to clean and too heavy.

Zip-Loc baggies make GREAT camp water containers. Fill them 3/4 up, zip them up, then scrunch them onto the ground, and they will sit nicely.

Nalgene canteen, 96 ounce size. We call her "old 96".
Not quite as cheap as drinking out of Stefan's bladder, but filtered water from here tastes less like pee.

I use a 32 oz. Nalgene as well as a 3 liter zip top bladder with a light (3 oz.) inline filter. This arrangement is fairly light and it is possible to carry a gallon of water on dry stretches. The inline filter works nicely as a gravity feed system too!
I hang my bladder from the top of the inside of my pack and bring the hose out of the top and under the lid. Even in this position with the pack and the Nalgene bottle sitting on the ground I can filter 32 oz. in 8 minutes. Just suck on the hose to create a siphon and put the hose in the Nalgene bottle.
Alternately I can use the two grommets in the top of the zip top bladder to hang it in camp. 3 liters gets me through all my camp needs without having to wear a path to the water. In camp it will filter 32 oz. in nearly half the time (4 minutes). The longer the drop from the top of the hose to the filter the better the flow rate.

I bring a 12oz styrofoam cup that I can re-use and pack out. Practically weightless.

Water bag in the pack. Usually the three quart size. Some times I bring a spare quart poly bottle. Unlike Miss. Karen, I drink *constantly* when i'm on the move. I try and not go 10 minutes without drinking. Keeps me going.
