Has anyone found anywhere to buy, or directions to make, a bota bag (wineskin/waterskin) that doesn't contain a y plastic or other modern material treatments (like neoprene, yuck)? I don't mean a hard leather water bottle, but specifically a soft leather bota bag?
I'm down to craft one, or even buy one, but I can't find any that aren't all plastic or modern goo.

I saw that thread but it seems more concerned with the mouthpiece. I'd like to find a non plastic bladder, but I have no idea how one does that.

sorry about that - I moved my reply to the original thread for benefit of future searchers -
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4143&p=52699#p52699
but basically if you want a traditional waterskin (or if someone finds this thread and the Spanish Door is no longer in business), you're looking for a pitch-lined bota.
googling around for things like "pitch" "pine pitch" "traditional" and "bota" should point you in the right direction. At least as of 2022, the only makers I know of are in Spain.
