--- Quote from: Machias on January 09, 2009, 11:10:31 AM ---I know for a fact, I hunt better and longer when I constantly drink from my camelbak. Turkey season is a prime example, I can hunt way longer and feel better by staying hydrated. As a kid I used to hunt all day without water and I'd get back to the truck and drink and drink from a gallon jug of warm water. This is soooo much better now. --- End quote --- Totally agree machias. Dave, very cool little story and great pic. Looks like they could also hit the fish? Boat in the pic? Camp Half Way? |

All my packs now have hydration units. One thing I have noticed is that I do drink allot more when using the hydration units then when I use to with a canteen. Part of that was ingrained to never have a partially full canteen do to noise. Another thing is drinking from a tube is not as satisfying as opening the lid and taking a nice big swallow. So now I drink twice as much and still do not feel as hydrated, lol I know it does not make sense but that is what it feels like. :dunno: |

I had 2 camel backs in the persian gulf in 99 while doing boardings in the north arabian gulf they were life savers, on a boat searching cargo boxes for 12 hours a day in 110 degree heat in the sun. I will never go on a long hike without one again. I also like carrying water with out it sloshing around. I carry a 2 liter hydration pack, and 2 1 liter bottles to refill it with when it is empty. I also drink 2 liters of water before bed. I got a pack from Joes 3 years ago for 9.99 and it works better than my old camel backs because it is a pack also, not just a hydration bladder holder. |

I used to think these bladders were kinda goofy too. However I bit the bullet and bought an 80oz bladder last fall. All I can say is I totally think they rock. I drink more water, carry it more comfortably, access it much easier, and feel much better at the end of the day. |
