Hydrating

[difflock]

How about the groundy with a chilled Fire Hose, to keep you hosed down, i.e. external hydration.

Never even know it were a Sunny Day then.

Sorted.

Simples!

I've used my camelback climbing before now and found it quite effective. For the size of them they don't add any noticeable weight. Taking sips between cuts and lowering stuff. Keeps you focused!

I am massively looking forward to being dehydrated.

Cheers Rob, the fact that you can have little and often is what would work best for me, its how I do it when running marathons and I sweat alot more working with them trousers on. Think I'll give it a bash. I'd use it on the bike if I didnt get on with it.

Good thread guys. I still think a chilled drink jacket would keep your bod cool whilst supplying a continuous supply of the much needed fluid!

I just tucked the pipe into the shoulder strap and it kept it out the way. The chest strap worked well keeping it secure. I filled mine with lucozade and it kept me up there for 6 hours.

You and your drink jacket! Dont you think it would warm quickly and end up being a very thick extra layer. And I dont want to see a tubed hydrating 13mm climbing rope in Jones's 'things you didnt know you needed' list anytime soon Hillbilly! Its my idea to take to the dragons den.

 

Rob, you've sold it to me. Will make a purchase.

I use a vapur bottle

It's like a floppy bag bottle thing with carabiner clip

[Hill-Billy]

OK, so you may need to get plugged into the groundie's chilled soft drink supply before going aloft. What's not to like? It may need a little more thought though before it's up and running...!lol

Maybe, between us, we could patent some new super hydration jacket. But don't you think that carrying all that extra weight could be a problem? Phew...!

 

Camelbak already did that.
