Is the bladder accesible without removing all your stuff?

Fully packed, the bladder could be troublesome to remove. You can remove it either through the top draw string opening, or through the large front zipper opening. I've never really had a problem removing it because I put most of the smaller stuff at the bottom or in the utility pockets. I've never had to remove anything to get my bladder in or out, I just had to be clever when trying to find the pocket while it was covered by my stuff.

Yes there is a separate compartment for a bladder and there is a built in pack cover on the underside.

Yes. The bladder is completely removable and the pack can be used as a small day pack. Even with the bladder inside, there is still a small bit of zippered storage space. Plenty of room for a snack, small camera, etc.

Yes that bladder is easily removed, I actually took the bladder out and have never used it. I use the bladder pocket for extra storage on day hikes.

No. I personally wouldn't recommend carrying a hydration bladder at all. With a full bladder in the sleeve of this backpack the comfort of the suspension and effectiveness of the back ventilation mesh are diminished. Unless absolutely necessary, carrying water adds a ton of weight. I suggest carrying a water filter (Sawyer Squeeze is my recommendation) and stopping at available water sources.

Yeah, the bladder is in its own pocket with a Velcro strap hanging it from the top of the bag. It's very easy to remove for cleaning or to give extra storage when you don't need to carry that much water.

I'd say no, there is access but the opening is smaller than the basket. I can get my diaper bag in but it's impossible to pull out.

The bladder is designed to be supported when full of water. I think that it has to be in some sort of enclosure. A 5 sided plywood frame would probably do.

No way....max 1.5L in a single bladder.... Maybe you can squeeze in 2 X 500ml bladder.

It should be able to separate rather easily by pulling it. Once off, then apply rubber cement around the inflation area of the new bladder, then clamp together for 5-10 minutes and you should be good to go!!

I would recommend to not hang the bladder by itself when it is full of liquid. I would recommend to carry the bladder inside a small backpack, then hang it from your recumbent. Without insulation, your liquid will get warm/hot in the direct sun, not a good idea.

Yes it is. You can completely remove the bladder and tube from the backpack.

No bladder included.. but it has a big velcro pouch for one. This seems to be the same bag that is pictured elsewhere along with a bladder and sip tube. So it can be easily added.

Yes this item is cut out to allow for a female to urinate and allows for a male to also urinate without getting it on the harness.

They are in separate compartments within the bag itself, so I don't see a way that this could realistically happen. If the entire bladder punctures and leaks a massive amount of water, that may be the only way.

I have not used the water bladder. There are 2 side mesh pockets that a bottle of water fits perfect in.

Not really. Without the bladder you get an extra pocket, but you won't be able to carry any traditional size textbooks. My wife used it for notebooks and smaller books. She says the only thing that doesn't fit are binders.
