Staying hydrated is one of most important functions when in the outdoors. As the wise Ray Mears makes clear in his TV programmes, you can survive a week or two without food, but only a few days without a drink. Hopefully you’ll be quenching your thirst from a sports bottle after a leisurely run rather than surviving in a desert, but the same rules apply.
Hydration Packs
We stock both lightweight plastic and more durable aluminium bottles. A great alternative to a water bottle is a hydration pack which takes up virtually no space when empty and can be inserted into a rucksack. For hot drinks and soup a thermos or flask will insulate its contents for the day ahead.
