Gear Advice - Hydration Bladders

[wvhunt]

I have at least 3 CamelBak bladders and various packs to put them in. To combat the "warm pee" condition, I fill mine to the tippy top with ice, then fill with water.

I haven't used one since I was doing a lot of mountain biking, but in extreme heat, I've frozen the whole bladder full of water. The water slowly melted throughout the day at a rate enough to provide cool water all day. Of course you have to have access to a freezer first

Does a ex wife count?

All new to me. Grew up using canteen and still do when needed.
Most of the time, the guides or outfitter provide such amenities.
