Every weekend and holiday, when people get rid of the hustle and bustle of the city for a long time, they finally flew to the wilderness. They (or her) are in groups of three or five, carrying large bags and small bags and walking in the mountains. It is a joy to breathe fresh air, bathe in the sun, and enjoy the blessings of nature.

When people climb mountains, they consume a lot of water. Naturally, they cannot do without drinking water. Nowadays, there are nothing more than water bottles, coke bottles, military water bottles, LAKEN water bottles/kettles, SIGG water bottles, and platypus. PLATYPUS) water bags, hippo series water bags, etc.

Bottles of water are made of plastic and aluminum. They have the disadvantage that they must be taken out of the bag or on the side of the bag each time they are drinking. Sometimes the bag must be removed and the bottle cap removed to drink water. There will be delays in loading or making an emergency. Sometimes people will reduce the number of drinking water in order not to leave the team. This is bad for the body. The correct way to drink water is to drink less water at a time, only one or two, and drink more often, so that the body can evenly and continuously add water, so that the stomach will not be overburdened. With the loss of sweat, but also to add some salt and glucose to balance the body's electrolytes to maintain the body's metabolic balance.

From the new donkey to the old donkey, from the use of beverage bottles, Coke bottles, aluminum cans to water bagged water, deep water bag is convenient and practical, the following describes in detail the use of PLATYPUS water bag and cleaning methods.

The PLATYPUS water bag is shown below:

The platypus water bag icon is as follows:

The platypus water bag is made in the United States and has a variety of volumes, this time being 3 liters.

The platypus water bag is a white transparent software that is collapsible and compressible, measures 41*19 cm and weighs only 120 grams (without water). The material is high-tech resin material, three layers are pressed into a layer by high pressure, pressure resistance, wear resistance, non-toxic and tasteless, high temperature resistance (the platypus promises that the water bag can withstand 100 degrees Celsius hot water), low temperature, the manufacturer promises: under normal use conditions If there is any damage, new products will be exchanged and the quality will be guaranteed permanently.

Because the water bag is very light, it becomes columnar after loading water, and it is not afraid of extrusion. It can be conveniently packed into various kinds of bags. When the bag is loaded, there is a head of the cover that faces downward to facilitate water flow when water is absorbed; With the teeth bite the water nozzle, the water can be sucked into the mouth, do not unload, stay, keep the speed continuous march. As shown below:

The water bag has become the standard equipment for American soldiers to see the pipe on the soldier.

When water bags are loaded into the bag, it is necessary to avoid the scraping of hard objects, especially sharp things, so as not to leak water. You can put it in a bag, I just put it into the ice pack, so you can protect the water bag and drink ice water or hot water.

See below:

Everyone has the experience of climbing a mountain in the scorching summer. If you can drink a cool, clear ice water, then how cozy it is. We can enter into the water bag in the first day, 1/2, up to no more than 2/3 of the water (in order to prevent the water bag from swelling when it is waterproof and freezing), to find a Coke bottle cap (Cola bottle cap size and water bag The caliber of the same), into the freezer (do not put into the water pipe) frozen into ice. In order to prevent the water bag from being frozen in the refrigerator, it is necessary to dry the water bag with a dry towel or newspaper and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator. In the morning of the second day, fill the water bag with normal-temperature water, leave a little space, cover it, and put it in an ice pack for heat preservation. In this way, we can drink ice water at any time during the day's mountain climbing. The same is true for drinking hot water.

When climbing a mountain in cold winter, pay attention to the heat preservation of the water bag. The waterproof pipe and the water bag should be frozen. The water should not be filled too much. Regularly absorb water during walking to keep the water pipes open. Before you go to bed at night, take half of the water from the bag and blow the water out of the pipe to prevent it from freezing. The drained water can be put into a pot and it is heated in the morning and then poured back into the water bag.

Water bag cleaning:

When the water bag is used for a long time, dirt will be generated in the bag, the water pipe, and the water spout. At this time, cleaning is required. The cleaning method is:

Water bag cleaning:

The water bag can be filled with a small amount of detergent, and then poured into 1/2 of the water, cover the mouth, sway violently, vibrate, produce a lot of foam, let go for a while; shake again, repeat several times, finally put the water release. Then turn on the tap to fill the water, do not turn off the water, continue to fill until the foam in the bag is completely discharged, repeated several times. Do not wash with baking soda, otherwise there will be a lot of odor in the bag.

Water nozzle cleaning:

Pull the water spout out of the water pipe, and then pull the yellow water valve out of the spout by turning the blue water spout on both sides and pulling out the yellow water valve. Use a cotton swab and a toothbrush to dip the cleanser. The grooves inside must be rubbed in. The inside is most likely to get dark, and then rinse with clean water.

See picture:

Water pipe cleaning:

If there is only dirt at the outlet of the water pipe, you can find a bamboo skewer with a lamb skewer, remove the tip, break a seam from the head, add a piece of cotton in the seam, and then roll the cotton on the entire head to make it thin. Rolls, more than a few layers, this is more solid, will not fall off, until slightly smaller than the nozzle. At this time, stick the cotton swab with detergent and insert it into the water pipe and twitch it until it is clean, then rinse it with clean water, and then put it on. If the entire water pipe is not clean, it is necessary to find a wire that is slightly longer than the water pipe, bend the head in Laos, to prevent the wire head from piercing the pipe, and then press the cotton in the front method and insert it vertically. In the water pipe, lift up and down and rotate to clean, and if necessary replace the cotton to repeat the above action. If there is no cotton, it is also acceptable to cut the wet tissue into 2 cm wide strips. See picture:

If the water bag is not used for a long period of time, clean it with the above method, keep the water dry and keep it ventilated. Do not press it.

Do not pour colored beverages into the water bag to prevent staining, and do not infuse carbonated beverages into the watertight bag.

The spout of the platypus water bag is exposed to the outside. If it is accidentally pressed against the spout, the water will flow out, wet the bag or clothing, and the spout is not exposed on the outside. It is best to add a spout cover to it. The covers are sold in outdoor stores, but the price is not low, we can make one, and the effect is good.

The method is to find a small bottle that can hold the spout, such as a bottle or film box. I was looking for a photo shop to install a plastic film cartridge, Kodak is black; Fuji's white translucent, Fuji's clean, best. First use the awl to drill a small hole in the center of the bottom of the box, and then find a Phillips screwdriver to make the hole large. Then use a round burr to scrape the burrs until the diameter of the hole is slightly larger than the water pipe and the burrs are polished. Then remove the spout, put the box on the water pipe, and then plug in the water spout. Pictured:

Look at the effect

Again, talk about the interchangeability of water bags and other items.

It has been observed that the lid of the water bag is the same size as the lid of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, which provides us with an extended function. If the water bag is broken due to man-made reasons, the factory and the merchant will not change it. We do not need to buy new ones. We will replace the bottle with a Coke bottle. If we go to a place where Haitu and other places cannot make up water, we should bring two 2 liter or 2.5 liter bottles of Coke bottled water and replace them in time, so that each person will have 7 or 8 liters of water, enough to complete a two-day trip. The platypus water bag has more than 100 pieces and 200 pieces. It is not cheap. If you have limited silver, just buy a water pipe, a spout, and a water pipe bag connector. You don't need to buy a water bag. Use a Coke bottle instead. If the bottle is dirty, the bottle will be dirty. It will be a new one. I hope factories and businesses will not only see the entire package. Pictured

Finally, add some knowledge:

When we are climbing mountains, the body's salt, minerals, sugar and other substances will be reduced with the loss of sweat, then we must add body fluids in time, otherwise the body will be unwell or even dangerous. When you drink distilled water, boiled water, and mineral water, you don't feel thirst at all. Buying physical drinks on the market, etc., is a very expensive way to restore your drinks. Then you can make your own drink. Method is: the tap water boil, add salt, while putting on taste, not too salty, there can be salty; then add glucose, the best calcium, potassium, supermarket for sale, 600 grams of 10 yuan A bag. Try it on the side, stir it, stir it well, melt it well, and adjust it to the level you like. It would be better if you put some plum crystals. Then pour it into a water bag so that you can make your own body drink and drink it to fully restore your strength.

I'm cool because of me, and the water bag is a good thing.
