Water for Life
November 1st, 2007I am a recovering water bottle purchaser. I decided it was an abuse to the environment. So I began purchasing water in gallon containers. It seemed less wasteful. I never leave home without a bottle of water. When hiking, walking or biking are involved I need mass quantities of the life saving energy. It is so difficult climbing up El Capitan dragging a gallon jug of liquid gold. Riding my bike with the gallon jug in the basket became treacherous. Every bump or sidewalk crack I hit bucked the water jug right out of my basket. I did a drift dive down the Rainbow River with a gallon jug of water tied to my dive flag float. Some tales should go untold. I needed my water ! What to do? Buying single bottles was against my life goals. Looking for a water source along the secluded path (a clean one) was an impossible feat. Although one of my favorite bike trails has installed water stations along the 13 mile trail. Thank you so much. What to do about every other place where my journeys take me? I needed an answer for my containerization issue. I purchased two heavy duty water bottles with clips from one of my favorite outlets. I can clip it to my waist, my backpack or my camera case. For long travels I stash one in my backpack. It is so convenient and i’m still being environmentally correct. I store extra gallons of water in my vehicle. I am now considering a camelpak to transport my precious liquid. No more dragging gallon containers across the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Fill, clip and go.

Hey there, I sent you an email about Adsense… wanted to make sure you got it, as my email program has been acting a little funky today. Anyways, the tutorial is in the Forums section of the main site.
