The Mio or GreatValue squeeze bottle stuff. I cant drink most bottled waters unless theyre ice cold. The plastic taste is unbearable to me.

Just water for me (in various size gatorade bottles because they are free and pretty durable/don't make noise like the modern-thin-as-pantyhose water bottles). I wish they made edible antifreeze because it stinks having your water freeze while sitting in the cold all day.


I thought antifreeze was the flavored stuff people put into water these days anyway.

Liquid IV

Started using it at the fire dept, then in the woods & now almost daily.

I get it at Costco or Amazon depending on price at the time.

Prefer LMNT over Liquid IV (which has extra sugar I don't need) for hydration help.... Also trying some of the MT OPS Ignite and Ignite Lite for when you want the pick me up of a coffee but aren't close to facilities..lol! so far so good!

is the freezing point the same as water or a bit lower due to the various electrolytes?

If I need energy I'll just pack a small energy shot or two. I drink alot of water and usually run out while I'm in the mtn. I started carrying this and now I can fill up damn near anywhere.

I usually drink my water straight and unflavored. But if I'm in the BWCA and drinking filtered lake water, or boiled surface water, it can get unpalatable. I like the sugarfree Arizona and Great Value powder pouches at Walmart. The sugarfree ones don't gunk up my Nalgenes as much.


So I really only use these on BWCA trips; on these occasions I bring as many Nalgenes as I can to store water, and reserve one for drinking from. That one gets the flavor additives. The others can be used for cleaning, or making tea or coffee or cooking or whatever. It can be a bit of a pain to transfer water to between Nalgenes in a bobbing canoe but oh well.

On the topic... my drinking Nalgene has probably 50' of duct tape and electrical tape spooled on to it. At one point I knew what volumetric measurements lined up with what edge of the tape but have since forgotten.
I bought my Nalgene in 1998 and it’s literally been all over the world. I lost those measurements too but I just can’t bring myself to buying a new bottle. My lid is being held on with weed trimmer line. Lol I may have attachment issues.

Ok, I am new,(I have been a long-time reader) so a year ago I went on a Keto diet so I could survive being an Advisor on my son's Philmont trek. (as well as other medical issues I was dealing with) I was able to cut the weight, but the water is great but very boring. One of the things I needed was something with no sugar and would keep electrolytes up. I was sitting in Walmart and was trying to find something that did not cost a lot of money and still do what I wanted. I found Propel (by Gator aid) which is about $3.00/Box of 10. And it comes in several flavors.

Because of my son and Scouts, we have a ton of Nalgene’s around the house. I know I saw them at REI and other places. (not a fan of REI)

Sorry, this is a bit wordy for my first post.

Orange raspberry or lemon blackberry propel packets for me. They work well and taste good. I’ve got a bunch of liquid IV but I don’t love the taste and they don’t dissolve well for me.
