My wife won't go on a 15 minute trip to the store without a water bottle. I find that odd.
And I'm not talking in the summer when it's over 100*
It was 75* here today.

It’s Titos. Everyone knows about taking along the ole “water bottle”

Folks are a LOT more water and hydration savvy than we were back in the 50's and 60's!

Bet I've sucked up several thousand gallons of water out of every trickle of water in east Texas.

Pop was a horse shoer. We got caught out one day with a string of horses to trim and shoe....and we didn't have any water. 😖
From that day on, there was a 3 gallon water can in a rack in the bed step!

Remember salt pills?

Bubblers

They were getting nailed like Dale.

Just like they was doing to you and 79S.

I require water bottle in the car, at least one.

Old habit of growing up in SoCal, Boy Scout Be Prepared stuff. Never knew when the next water would be available. More important now as we generally have the dogs with us if we go anywhere besides town. Of course, they'll drink out of a mudpuddle if necessary.

Just remembered, it's time to get the gallon jug out from behind the passenger seat in the RAV4 before the real cold hits and it freezes and busts open.

I liked the un-retouched pic better...(and I have a copy)

Anyone else's Grandparents use to keep water in Clorox jugs in the fridge during summer?

Vivid memories of sharing icebox cold water in clorox jugs with Nonno after a Summer afternoon helping tend his garden.

I've kept a thermos of cold water in the truck since I started driving in the 80's.

In the '60s and '70s we carried water in bleach jugs all over the farm. Out irrigating, on the tractor, on the hay wagon, up on the hay stack, hung off the saddle horn with a baling twine while moving cows or hunting big game.

I'm an old desert rat I guess. I'm not a fan of cold water, especially ice cold. I drink water too fast and like it to absorb instantly.

Some mornings tap water from my well is chilled some by running under the house and it's colder than I prefer even.

If I'm working on a crew that has a big Igloo cooler with ice in it too, I get my water out and let it sit to warm up.

How many had milsurp web belts and canteens???

Or the old Boy Scout type on a sling that went over a shoulder?

I knew I wasn't dreaming that schidt up. Kids never believed me when I told them. Plastic jugs back then weren't flimsy and the formulas were made to last. Makes sense once the bleach is gone rinse a couple times and GTG.

I have a 32gal Rubbermaid garbage can with lid fromthe early 90's that I use for yard cleanup. That thing is gonna outlast me. New plastic cans don't last for schidt.

I well remember that when I was a kid back in the early 60's in the southeast. That is exactly why we had separate water fountains back then. That way they could drink how they pleased and we could as well. I would not want to drink water from a fountain nozzle that someone had been literally sucking on. Don't tell me it did not happen as I witnessed it regularly back then. They didn't bother us and we didn't bother them with separate fountains. Seemed very accommodating to me. What was the problem with that? But no, some people somehow thought that it was evil to provide them with their own fountains and forced the removal of separate facilities which then enabled them to pollute everyone's drinking fountain. This often resulted in many public fountains being eliminated altogether. So, no more public water in many public areas for anyone. Now, I am sure some jackass is going to start calling me names for saying this, but it was simple fact behavior that I regularly witnessed.

Yup with the thick aluminum canteens.

Bin will space ghost it if you post it.
He did it to Hilstadj last night.
Lasted all of 18 mins.

All the gummer b types hit the notify button on him.

Years ago I worked in an underground hardrock mine on a mucking crew. Our crew operated LHD (load haul dump) trucks and loaders and basically mucked up blasted rock both ore and waste rock. It was diesel equipment and I think the ambient rock temp was 120*-130*F and 90% humidity. Those old Deutz air diesels ran hot and heated things up as well sitting right next to steel frames and engines. They pumped air conditioned chilled air and had waterbar spray chambers to make it workable or survivable. You'd drink a couple gallons each day and sweat would just roll off just like being in a sauna. The company furnished fruity electrolytes drinking packets to mix in your water. Kind of an awful occupation. I watched folks get puking sick and even pass out from the heat.
