RE: Hydration backpack for day hikes ?

I've done some snow camping. Hike in a couple miles and get comfortable.
Packing beer in a snowbank for a couple hours ensures the coldest suds possible.
Too bad, that at maybe 7000 feet elevation, the bottle gives a 'whoosh' of decompression, the bubbles form and clog the neck with BEER ICE. You need to WARM the neck to free up what you were after in the first place!

I'm a little weird about the Sanitation Aspects of those CamelBacks, too. I just can't figure out how to CLEAN it and all that tubing. My 'solution' and a couple Sierra Cups works fine.

Link to a largish daybag from Patagonia, sold thru REI. For cool to COLD hiking, always carry some extra warm clothing. Layers Rule.


Too much is never enough
