Camelbak's slogan is pretty straight forward ladies and gents: HYDRATE OR DIE!
We're in the freakin' heart[burn] of Texas, and it's only gonna get hotter....a LOT hotter!! Dehydration can seriously injure or even kill u if u do not bring a source of water to the field. Not just gatorade or Powerade alone...waaaaaaater! (And i swear if I ever catch u kids chugging nothing but mt dews and monsters out there ill slap u before yo momma does
)
Its not even enough to leave it in ur car; u must have a water source WITH u, on your person. It may not be mandatory in the kookaburra field waiver, and there may be some water and gatorade on site. BUT!... health and safety starts with priority #1...YOU.
One little 20 oz bottle might cover it... as long as its part of the bulk box of 20 u can get at walmart for like $6. Carry a bottle in a pouch or pocket when playing. There's plenty of camelbaks and canteens at the kookaburra store as well. Bring a gallon jug or two and fill a bottle to take with. One camelback or two canteens would be sufficient too...but STILL!...have that extra frickin water in the car for refills!!! I can drain an entire 60oz camelback before lunch break on even a cold day...easily.
May sound costly at first....but it's helluvalot cheaper than a life-lite ride to the hospital cuz u passed out of severe dehydration and heat exhaustion. Also, none of us CLS and first-aid certified guys and gals are in the mood to drag ur sorry butt to the hospital cuz u were stupid. We WILL, but we won't be happy about it
I take this seriously ladies and gents, so should u. Be smart. Stay hydrated.
Love,
LT
