Watched my nephew's daughter play soccer a few years back. They'd run around for 5 minutes and stop and drink water. Very odd. Truly raising snowflakes.

Warm/hot weather I always have a cooler full of cold water. Stainless jugs, refill in the evening, leave in fridge overnight.

I drink a lot of water and hate to be thirsty.

Obviously if I worked in town it would be a non-issue.



Call me fuuckin' Aquaman....lol






As we speak bruh...

I carry a gallon in my wife's car, 3 gallons in the Tacoma and 5 gallons in the Tundra plus some water in bottles.

Hunting Eastern Oregon, I carry at least one quart and have some empty Platy bottles to fill up if I want more. In western Oregon I carry a platy and a filter straw.

I drink a lot of water and always have bottled water close by if not in hand. Staying properly hydrated is not the mark of a snowflake it’s just smart. 😉

One of my pet peeves. My wife and sons can't do a ten minute car ride without bringing at least one beverage.

There’s an artesian well on the main road to town.

Always a colored there filling up gallon jugs of water.

White folks get water for their fishing minnows. Says it keeps em alive longer.

Free flowin. Guess it’s been there since moby dick was a minnow.

Got s funky smell, tastes good though. Just like the lord made it.

Everybody on this side the county got water from it after Katrina. Nobody at the rural water service was smart enough to put gensets at Wells and towers.

I drink water from the faucet at work. Fill up the community orange cooler. Ask even ask who fills it up. Prolly better that way.

If God wanted us to drink water, he wouldn’t have gave us beer.

L.W.

depending on where i am going in the desert, i sometimes have ten gallons of drinking water in the truck.
my wife cleaned out the truck the other day, and switching out five or so or those military two quart flex canteens.
a gallon of water is about 7-8 pounds, if you are stuck out 20miles or so you burn through it pretty quick. sorry to say i have been
in those situations, i carry a lot of water.
the other part is much of the state in the desert is considered to have hard water, just real special on your kidneys.
living in north central arizona most of my life, we use to transport drinking water with us when visiting phoenix. no kidney stones that way.
a rule of thumb is if you are not peeing regularly in the heat, you ain't drinking enough, it should be semi clear pee, too.

Always carry drinking water whether in the truck, on the gator, on horseback or walking. You can wash up at the stock tanks but an ice chest full of drinking water is never a bad thing to have. Broke down in the gator once, about two miles from the truck. Had to walk back and my black lab never would have made it without water. Had to walk on the shady side of the wash and stop every 100 yards per so. He got pretty hot.

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.

There is still plenty time for

“Lemme tell u sompthin mister, I do concrete work”

Blah blah blah fuggin blah


This has to do with college kids and metal water bottles and them being in purely climate controlled environments


Has nothing to do with someone dropping out of homeschool in 8th grade having to lay blocks and making a living by the sweat of their brow.

I always make sure I have a daily water source in a variety of containers. It seems I go thru a lot of water jugs as they get banged up in the farming and logging equipment.

I am especially fond of the spring water on the farm. Hardly any taste to it and safe as I have it tested yearly. Some of the neighbors come by and fill up containers. [Linked Image from i.imgur.com]
