    The water never really gets up the straw properly and I’m not about to crack out a bottle brush and do it by hand. A nalgene will hold 1.5 litres and is hygienic.

      Enjoying those endocrine suppressors? You definitely want aluminum, but Stanley isn’t the only way to do that. My wife got a pretty good Yeti with a pretty nice drinking spout, I think it’s the magdock?

      Either way, stop drinking out of plastic.

        I only carry water with me very rarely. like only when I go on long hikes. Even then, the spring water on those hikes is pretty good. I probably use a drinking bottle less than once a month.

        Besides aluminium leads to oxidative stress. There’s a reason you don’t see aluminium cookware in the shops.

        I had a little silver glass handed down as a child. Used it only for water. Don’t think that kind of thing can be afforded nowadays.


        What’s the problem with Ag?

      1. You can buy an isolated bottle without straws.
      2. Insulated bottles are very nice because they isolate the water.
      3. The potential bacteria obviously doesn’t really matter much anyways.

        Now I don’t know what to think!

        I have a steel thermos for keeping my coffee hot, but I don’t see it being necessary to keep things cold. I usually only take water if I’m going somewhere without access to tap water or clean streams.

          Cold water is much nicer to drink and IMO much better than coffee.

              I live further north than most but not that close to the Arctic Circle (around 7-8 degrees further south), but it’s not like I have that cold inside, we insolate our homes. If you live in the ice hotel I guess you don’t need an isolated bottle (As long as you don’t expose it to negative for too long). IMO a bottle is just really convenient compared to a glass of water which is very limited in capacity.

              The vast majority of humanity lives very far away from the Arctic. The Arctic is one of the most desolate places on earth. Only around 4 million or 0,05376% of humanity live above the Arctic circle.

                Yeah my home’s insulated as well. But the water pipes that supply my home are mostly outside. I turn on the tap and get a pint of ice cold water. I’m not sure why a bottle would make it more convenient. I did this when I lived much further south as well. A pint of tap water is actually pretty good. And if you live in a developing country without safe and tasty tap water then your water comes pre chilled from the shop anyway. And it’s easier to just drink it from the bottle it comes in.

                  Bottles contain more water than most glasses and compared to glasses they can be used safely close to electronics and keep the water cool for longer.

                  Sure, I could go and fetch more from the tap but that’s annoying and is something that will get in the way of me drinking water. Ice water is even more annoying with glasses because the ice melts faster and the glass will sweat a lot.

                  And no, I’m not in a developing country. There are only like 8 countries in total around 59-58° 34’ N and none are really developing countries. Except Russia of course. The water in Estonia is apparently not the best and the USA apparently has shit water.
