Camelbak
Login
Morning Pablo (well it still seems like it in this house), I've got tickets for V, and will be filling my 3 litre bladder with V&C...the savings to be had should pay for the camelbak twice over! Wish I was going to reading...it looks like the best lineup this year.
Keeping it on thread...I would not fill it with Vodka when skiing, although I assume Vodka is less likely to freeze than water! :lol:
I think you may have discovered the secret, alcohol to keep it liquid :wink:
Look guys this is silly, fill with beer, you know it makes sense :wink:
there is :D although it's not likely to be an issue for skiers :D
Very true though, you can also drink too little and that's the main problem with a camelbak or similar hydration system, it's very difficult to monitor your liquid intake. There's the other problems like them freezing, getting contaminated, not being robust in a sack full of other gear etc which in the round make them a poor choice. At times where hydration is a genuine issue carrying nalgene bottles is better and making scheduled stops for hydration will guarantee liquid intake can be monitored.
Borrrring! :wink:

With the festival season looming I thought I'd invest in a Camelbak (back pack). I've never carried anything when skiing before (apart from essentials in pockets) but it seems very comfortable so I am wondering if any of you use a hydration system when skiing or do they freeze up?

I have never bothered to use one for skiing before, I would probably drink too much if there is such a thing?
As a (skiing) aside, what (skiing) festivals are you going to? We had a 3L camel back for T in the Park which we filled with a variet of things including a litre of whiskey + coke which worked out great :twisted:

We had the choice of the well known ski festival Glastonbury, or the other well known ski event Wimbledon this year. I won...........Wimbledon.
