May 16: Me to me “But wait that looks so cool. No no, I don’t need that. But it’d be nice to have. But I need to save money. But maybe I might need it” . You know when you’re looking through that list of must have items for your trip or you’re at target just looking around and see that one thing that just seems too easy to be useful. Maybe I’m just new to the game, but hydrating packs are kinda of amazing. I’m pretty slow on the trail mainly because I can barely balance watching where I step and actually looking up at everything I’m passing by. And I like to take pictures.. but stopping for water tends to take up some time too. I know it sounds lazy, but the process of taking my bag off my back every time I wanted water was such an annoying process but I needed my hands free. A backpack with side pouches could help with this, but I doubt I’m coordinated for all that arm bending and walking at the same time. A couple days a go, I wrote about how much I packed and how it was useful to plan it out. A hydration pack is definitely something I will be putting on the list for my next hike. . If you already have a backpack you love to use, you can still get a hydration bladder.. I know they probably could’ve come up with a better name for it. You can get these to put into your backpack and still have the connecting tube to drink water while continuing on with your hike. This #lesson16 would work great for festivals, sporting events, bike rides.. the list could go on. . Unrelated: These pictures still take my breath away. I feel as though I could walk right over and run my hand along the clouds. As if they’re there for me to touch. . #getcreative #hydration #stopandgo #easyhack #observation #lazysong #hikehigher #hikefaster #freehands #optoutside #day2 #utahclouds #mountainclouds #bugisland #freeing #cloudscape #early (at Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxhuTxEFzAf/?igshid=112duof6fk554
