Dusty Memories

I went for a hike this morning. Instead of a day pack I just brought a hydro pack - the same one I used last year on the playa - the same one I thought I had cleaned. My phone rang, I pulled it out of the small pouch on the strap and what seemed like a small atomic cloud appeared - playa dust that was in the pouch. Only 135 days!

atleast yours made it through the event.

i bought one off some random retailer on ebay and it didnt make it through the first day. it dripped water all over my back..... which was awsome in its own right. unfortunately it didnt hold the water i needed

Camelback's are a bit tricky- Some patience required.
First you gotta start the threads evenly.
Then give it a good twist.
finally squeeze & if it leaks give it another twist of an inch
or two with more pressure.

In practice it's quite easy
After 5 years of heavy use skiing etc I put a bit of silicone
grease on the outer threads and now as good as new.
