ChrisT Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I am looking for a better option than carying water bottles out in the field. I was thinking something like a camelbak, but you need suction for that to work correct? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerS Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I've tried a lot of different methods, and I still come back to water bottles. My favorite are the Gatorade bottles with the orange twist tops. They are sturdy, cheap, and you can pack a couple out to the field. If you lose one, you're out $2. No biggie. I have a game vest with two water bottle pockets that I always keep filled. If I need water because it's hot, I bring a camelback. Otherwise I wait until I get back to the truck. Keeping the dogs hydrated is more important than myself, apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstermoose78 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 If it is hot freeze a couple gatorade bottles that way you will have cold water when it melts, but bring a unfrozen one or 2 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leechlake Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I've tried a lot and also go back to water bottles. I trained my dogs to drink out of them by putting peanut butter on the end of the squirt style so they'd drink out of them more easily. Once the learn then it's real easy.

ChrisT Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 I just bought a soft sided dog bowl. It breaks down super easy and I won't pour out half the water onto the ground. Thanks for the input guys, I guess I am always looking for a better way.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrucci Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Water bottles and a zip lock sandwich bag. Drinking straight from the bottle results in lots of wasted water meaning you have to carry more. I pour tje water into the bag and use it like a bowl. It means I don't have to drink from the same bottle that the dogs have been drinking from and less water is wasted. Weighs nothing as well.

bottomdweller Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I stay away from the cold water, Ive heard its too hard on the dogs system, better to be room temp. Ive also tried go dog, its a gatorade for dogs but no bad stuff in it like gatorade. Dogs freaking love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
