I keep water around me in all types of containers... but I'm a concrete guy in arizona... cause I couldn't finish the 8th grade...
When I worked at a major medical college, ya the students had water containers they could fill at water stations... buy a container once or buy daily bottled water, no brainer.
I understand water is an afterthought in many areas, but here it's best to be prepared and not a joke.

I carry water in bottles in the truck doors. When I was young and walked and hunted half a day I didn't carry any.

With the corona scare going on in schools, the water fountains have been shut down.
You have to bring a bottle to fill if you want some water to drink.
And you should. The US is chronically dehydrated.

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.
Only on the days I'm in the chopper - put a couple of bottles of H2O in the chilled compartment in the cab; sometimes I don't even use them at all, other times maybe just one..

I always take a 30 oz stainless insulated tumbler with 1/3 crushed ice / 2/3 water anytime I'm going to be away from a readily available potable water source for any length of time.
For shorter trips I keep a couple of empty commercial 20 oz plastic water bottles in our fridge freezer with about 1/3 frozen water and add tap water to the top when ready to use.

Its a large stainless sign of "i care this much" about the planet and if you don't have one then you don't lol.
Can be seen entering planet fitness with yoga pants, an ass that looks like the surface of Mars, swinging their coexist yeti growler, their "running" hokas and sports bra. And that's the "men" 😆 I carried this today whilst I was shovelling and working around town...it was nearby when I was ankle deep in the bottom of a storm water drain as well. I must be virtue signalling too. You may not be virtue signaling but you totally missed the point of this thread.

Take a 24 oz. water bottle with me every time my truck leaves the driveway.
Gotta have water to wash down the fast food I get at the drive up for lunch.
Don't drink pop or sweet drinks. Occasionally unsweetened ice tea.
Also always carry a gallon of antifreeze in the truck 'case of over heating.
Gotta "be prepared"

That said, I just spent a serious $hit ton of $$$$ on water.
Had a new well drilled yesterday - 208 feet !

WTF kind of thread is this?!! Another slumlord classic.
If you don't carry water on you 24/7 you run the risk of being caught in a traffic jam or the schitter at work without the ingredients needed to reconstitute your freeze dried whiskey!

Don't carry one, carried in one. Because of a rare childhood disease I must live in a large vessel of water.

Hey slum,
Watching that douche bag prosecutor in Kenosha reminded me of your thread.
LOL
I know half these retards couldn’t grasp what you were talking about but that dude summed it up pretty well.

What virtue are they signaling?
That they’re saying the world by not using a one time use water bottle that ends up in the ocean. The Ganges and Yangtze rivers are the most polluted in the world and plastic bottles make up an extra large share of it.

I think there's a couple reasons for the popularity, especially among women. One was already mentioned, saving the planet nonsense. Second is fitness/excercise virtue signaling...they figure if they wear leggings and carry a water bottle, people will assume they are on their way to/from the gym and are like,all super healthy and stuff. I think the yoga craze started that.
Also, people (again mostly women) heard that you needed to drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, and I'm pretty sure someone said it would make you skinny. 9 out of 10 women would eat white dogsheitt if someone told them it would make them skinny. The rest is fashion- its fashionable to carry a water container (set to change in type and color, just like clothes) and god forbid your average female is missing an essential fashion accessory. I think that covers it.
Yep. It’s kinda like the dumbass DemoRat’s that wear their Corona Mask everyday and everywhere. Even in their car when driving around by themselves. 🤪 I keep a case of bottled water in the truck. Drink a bottle when I’m thirsty. Or drink an extra before I go fix fence. Or get in the tractor. But as to Slum’s point of this thread, it’s mostly just virtue signaling by young dumbasses. Never saw anyone do that back when I was in College. If someone was carrying a drink, it was a can of Coke or a Big Gulp. And like Slum mentioned, when we were kids, we spent all day hunting or fishing, or when we were kids playing football or baseball without carrying any water.
