So in my quest for amassing as much "outdoor" gear as possible, I bought one of those camelback (love that name) water backpacks. It's a thin, mini-backpack that holds only water and has a tube which runs over your shoulder, down the strap, and right into your thirsty mouth so you can slurp on water nonstop while doing a variety of things. I amused myself for a good hour last night fiddling around with it. First thirty minutes -- could not convince water to obey law of suction. Second thirty minutes -- could not convince water to cease squirting out of mouthpiece. It's one of those things that should have been incredibly simple, yet somehow I made it as difficult (and wet) as possible.
