Simple - forget to tighten the top of your platypus all the way. It doesn't need to be "loose" just less than really tight. Use the pack as a pillow to keep your body out of the slime while you survey. Slowly your body weight will force the water out of the bottle, into your pack where it can't escape! It's waterproof after all.
