Portable Hydration
aznboi3644:
One thing I dont like to carry in the woods or on hikes is a water bottle or multiple bottles...I like to pack light. Usually just a shortbow and a few arrows in hand...my machete if I find a nice sapling to cut down...thats about it.
For Christmas my brother sent me a Camelbak hydration pack. When I first opened the package I had no idea what the hell this tiny backpack looking thing was. I called him asking WTF is this thing? haha. He told me I was a dumbass and that it was my Christmas present and it was used for holding water/liquids. I was ecstatic...thanked him and told him I'd see him christmas eve to pick him up at the airport.
I love using this thing...it is super handy. No more heavy water bottle in my pocket or in my hand. I just pop in some ice cubes and fill it up with water and go. I can even wear it under my pea coat and none of my friends even know I'm wearing it until I pull out the tube and take a drink lol.
Anyone else here have or use one? I'd highly recommend it. I'm kinda of a weirder person than most my friends but I'll wear this this while hanging out sometimes...lol...I love it. I dont have to get up to get a drink lol.

Used them lots down here in the South Florida heat. Absolutely needed when I was training for marathon distances in 80 plus degrees, I take them out kayaking, long distance bike rides, all that stuff. I'd run water with a small amount of bleach through frequently and store upside down with a papertowel or two in the bladder to hold it open for drying. Clean out that hose, also. You don't want to get sick from mildew. Cool gift.

I bet you could sneak your own drinks into movie theatres, sporting events, etc. It would pay for itself after a couple of NFL or MLB games. That is cool.

I was using one before using one was cool. They are great for turkey hunting, cool and comfortable leaning against a tree.
