Default Idea for drinking water while Mding

I don't know if you all have seen these hydration back packs. I live in Florida and it gets real hot here. Getting thursty while Mding is comon. Having to go back to the vehical for a cold drink takes away from Detecting time. I saw this backpack canteen and the Bells rang.....I have tried it out for about three weeks and it works great. I found that if you fill the bladder about 1/3 full and place it in the freezer, when you are readly to use it just fill it up the rest of the way and you have nice cold water. Also the it is nice and cool on your back. There is a hose that goes though the shoulder strap and you just drink from it.

They cost about $20.00 at Waly World.

Was just thinking with summer coming this may help on those hot days. Let me know what you all think of this for Mding.

Thumbs up Nice idea

Or you could do the same thing freezing water in a plastic water bottle (or 20oz gatoraid bottle) and put it in your fanny pack...

Default hydration back packs

I just seen them hydration back packs at Cabella's in WVA today

$24.95

Excellent thingy to have on a hot day.

Personally a six pac in a cooler is my choice of a cool offer.

The walk back to get a cool one is where the good exercise comes in.
