Carrying water in the outdoors can be a bit of a challenge sometimes. If you're not going to be outside very long it's no problem, you just carry a bottle of water with you and you're good to go. However when you need are going to be outside for an extended period of time or just want more than one bottle of water to drink, there can be issues. If you're like me you can try stuffing water bottles into every available pocket you can find, but pockets usually fill up very quickly. At least for me they do.
I'm a fisherman and carrying water used to be a real problem. I would stuff water bottles into pockets in my fishing vest, but this was quite uncomfortable, and then I had to dig through my vest, every time I wanted a drink of water. I was complaining about my problem one day, and a friend of mine, who happens to be a mountain biker, introduced me to a solution. He called this solution a Camelback.
I had never heard of such an animal but he explained that it was like a small backpack that carried water. He wore one while mountain biking. I was intrigued, so he showed me his. It was cool, and he said it held enough water for most of a day. I tried it on and realized that it would easily fit under my fishing vest. Not only that, but it was so comfortable, I hardly realized it was there. My problem of carrying water in the outdoors was solved.
I quickly realized that my camelback could also be used when I went hiking or hunting. It was the perfect solution for carrying water, when more than a single bottle is needed. If you ever run into a similar situation, no matter what outdoor activities you enjoy, you should do some research on camelbacks and/or similar hydration packs. For the few dollars they cost, they're well worth it.
