I see; as opposed to coming out of someone's septic tank.


Yes. Lol if I am ignorant of it I guess it tastes better?

Seems silly. When I was young nobody carried around water like today, and we didn't die.

Those old school stainless Thermos are bullet proof. Post a picture.

If I'm out scouting or hiking I usually do carry a Nalgene or at least 12 once bottle. I may not drink it, but I'd rather have it and not need it as opposed to the alternative.
If I'm actually hunting, I've almost always have a small thermos of coffee that fits perfectly in my fanny pack to warm me up.


The chances they come, and the chances they go.
But the time. You don't get that back.

We’d just drink out of the creek or somebody’s water hose or whatever was handy.

Brother, you ain't kidding! Same in the California deserts. The Mojave desert, Death Valley, etc., are very unforgiving of ignorant people who wander around out in that harsh country. smile

I take two 16 oz bottles of flavored water from either Aldi or Walmart with me in the truck when I leave the house everyday. Only in an effort to drink more water.

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.


Might catch the covid from the fountain.

When I was young I never even thought about water(I do live in what amounts to a swamp) but getting older seems to require more water so if I'm going to be out of the house or travel for any time I take a cooler with several bottles of water. I don't "nurse" a bottle, get it out and drink it down. When I was still working I would be forced to appear at the office in the capital city at times and noticed that the sales chicks would carry a bottle of water around, never see them drink any? The office had very nice water fountains that worked just fine, I'll bet that water in the bottle came from the same tap.

Well yeah. I never lived in a city before...just drank from our well. I admit I was a little slow on that one lol

Just never stopped to wonder what was attached at the other end of the spigot before I guess...

And this was years ago

Used to carry a gallon glass jug filled with ice and water, wrapped in newspaper and sacked in a Big Star bag when chopping cotton, then when I hit concrete work 5 gallon Igloo. I sweat a lot, and heat stroke is a thing...

I tote a 5 gallon to the farm when I go up, I drink half a gallon of coffee a day if that counts.

True. Things can go south way fast in the desert. Long, long ago I spent all day hiking outside tucson. Up hill a lot. I drank 7 quarts that day. I got back to the truck and I was messed up. My lips were numb and I was feeling very, very bad. I stopped at a ranch and the guy comes to the door and could not speak English. I said "agua" (only Spanish I knew) and he obliged.

I won't drink outside water sources with out treatment, unless I can immediately trace the source. Giardia, ag runoff, and septic seepage don't agree with me.

When working, I’d always have a 5gallon cooler of ice water on the back of the truck, but never saw a need to pack it around with me.

Yup - it's stupid, and it's gay.

The only thing gayer is drinking Fiji.

I carried a stainless 2 quart insulated jug every day to work for "ever", all year. Put a healthy amount of ice cubes in each morning then top off.

Now, I never leave home without water, but not that big jug. I refill those disgusting pint plastic water bottles with drinkable well water.
