Safety first. This is the number one rule for most activities. Especially so when it comes to outdoor activities that involve strenuous physical exertion. There are lots of listings of dos and dont’s of various outdoor activities that we can read about. The list items vary depending on the kind of activity involved. But, there is one important do that spans across any outdoor activity. And, that is to keep the body adequately hydrated at all times. When the body is properly hydrated, it is able to cope with the kind of physical exertion that is required of any activity. When dehydration sets in, on the other hand, the body ceases to function optimally and physical activity is impaired. This underscores the importance of carrying an ample supply of potable drinking water at all times whatever the outdoor activity is. The use of a backpack for outdoor activities makes it easy to keep the body from being dehydrated.
Choosing the right backpack should be the first order of business. Taking the one-size-fits-all stance in this regard is not entirely wise. There are varying needs for hydration depending on the type of outdoor activity involved. Choosing a 28-oz. waist pack-type hydration pack would be useless for someone who is going on a three-day camping trip. This type of a hydration pack would augur well for a jogger to wear on an hour’s run around the track. Regular campers would be wise enough to invest in a backpack-type hydration pack that could carry up to 100 ounces of water. Those who engage in a variety of outdoor activities on a regular basis however suggest getting a 70-oz. pack. This, according to them, will provide just the right amount of water supply for most activities.
There is also no need to worry about both leakage and contamination with most hydration packs. These packs are often fitted with mechanisms like the bite valve and dust cover. Antimicrobial components are also used to treat the insides of the water reservoir of the hydration pack as well as the inner tubing of the hose that leads from the reservoir to the bite valve. These components were found to prevent the growth of microbes. The most reliable hydration packs are also constructed of durable and puncture-resistant materials. These packs are tested to withstand even the toughest of circumstances. The tough materials are used because, aside from these features, these packs are the safest way to travel with enough water supply for consumables like Gatorade, beverages, and sports drinks.
The various styles of the CamelBak hydration pack are also constructed to be “back-friendly.” Recent studies have given rise to questions the safety of loading heavy backpacks into subways and elevators or elevators. In these activities, the risk of suffering back injuries is very real. Prevention is better than precaution. Therefore, hydration packs are designed with handles that allow the carrier to hang on and to not be affected by the weights. This is because these back packs are best-suited for activities that are not only short but also easy and fast. juggling activities like hiking and lugging around a heavy back pack while engaging in a fast activity is fairly difficult.
This suggests that the best hydration packs should ideally be worn by people who are fairly fit and healthy. The heavy loads may be carried for a long time due to the inherent fatigue factor. Other than this, it is also recommended that hydration packs are worn by people who have a robust physical Fitness Level. These recommendations are also extended to people who are engaging in activities like military actions and search and rescue operations. For the emergency medical purposes, it is also recommended to provide these packs since it can assist in faster treatment of wounds and quicker transfer to a transport vehicle.
These considerations suggest that the ideal emergency food supply should be made from either airtight sealed containers or shut containers. On the basis of these criteria, the Cabela’s Big H – 50 Chevy Backpacker is an excellent choice. This hind of the pack is that it is made of heavy-duty polyurethane-coated nylon. This pack can carry a total of 50 hydration tablets, 5 water bottle carriers and a neoprene bead which is about the size of a beach ball. Carrying this pack is easy because it comes with adjustable straps that are durable and come with a lifetime guarantee. The neoprene bead fillers prevent the water from entering the pockets.
This emergency water bottle carrier is also laptop compatible with a detachable strap which means it is not cumbersome when carried. There are also additional areas on the pack where food and drinks are kept conveniently. This includes a slot for a standard bottle opener, as well as a spot for a pocket knife. The black nylon closure makes the interior of the pack easily visible.
