Hydration

Portable fresh water is a necessity for even short trips, a matter of survival for longer ones. The normal amount of consumption jumps when stress and prolonged exertion take their toll.

Camelbak
  Camelbak: BFM hydration / pack / medical kit
  The BFM is the military version of the largest Camelbak hydration system. 2550 cu in (42 l) of cargo plus up to 12 liters of water. We liked this pack so much we gave it our first-ever WINNER award.
  Camelbak: Skeeter children's hydration pack
  Children have become an integral part of our outdoors experience, and they need dependable hydration even more than we do. Canteens lose their thrill quickly, so this smallest of hydration systems has real value. 35 oz (1 l) of water; reflective material. Nice.
  Camelbak: Trail Blazer hydration / pack
  This is a mid-sized combination system, capable of holding 70 oz (2 l) of water and 988 cu in (16.20 l) of supplies. It's a generous day pack.
