    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 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?

        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 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.

                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.
