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.

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.

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"

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 couldnā€™t grasp what you were talking about but that dude summed it up pretty well.

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. Itā€™s kinda like the dumbass DemoRatā€™s that wear their Corona Mask everyday and everywhere.
Even in their car when driving around by themselves. šŸ¤Ŗ

I keep a case of bottled water in the truck. Drink a bottle when Iā€™m thirsty. Or drink an extra before I go fix fence. Or get in the tractor.

But as to Slumā€™s point of this thread, itā€™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.
