I never have felt the need to tote a 1- quart Nalgene or steel thermos of water every.
****unless, I was trail hiking more than a few miles***
Might shove a mtn dew bottle or nestle water bottle in my back pocket while in a plowed field for a few hours.
Reason I ask: I see people and have for last few years go everywhere with a metal cylinder of liquid. Seems stupid, like a pacifier for a baby. College campus have water fountain in every bldg.
otherwise can humans not go 2 hours without having a sip of something? Catfish live longer than that without water.
When I worked, we had people that always had a mug of coffee or a bottle of pop anywhere they went. I never understood how anybody could drink that much of anything. My girls always have a water bottle, just like you mentioned, but I have to admit it's better than other things they could be hooked on. I think it started as a symbol of caring about the environment by not using plastic, and then became a habit for many.
