CamelBak Thermal Control Kit

I first got a CamelBak Reservoir as a Christmas gift from my brother. It was part of a backpack set, and at first I primarily used to to stay hydrated on the ski slopes. Then after seeing some friends on the trail using their CamelBak bladder in their daypacks and even backpacking packs, I’ve been using it on almost every hike.

All you have to do is fill it up with water, put it in whatever backpack you’re using, then head out on the trail or ski slopes. Some Hiking Lady tips:

• Get a “Thermal Control Kit” for cold conditions. Water that stays in the tube can freeze in cold conditions, so I’d recommend getting a sleeve cover if you are going to take your CamelBak skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, etc.
• Get a bite valve cover. If you put your backpack on the ground, the CamelBak tube has a tendency to get friendly with the dirt. I don’t like to drink dirty water, and the bite valve cover does the trick to keep the dirt out.
