Advisory: Water Bottles

With the heat wave this weekend, it's time to think about prepping for the summer events and keeping hydrated.

I highly suggest people begin looking now for a waterskin or other reusable bottle or water container that can be used In-Game, and kept on you at all times.  Most Army / Navy stores will have skins or canteens that can pass IG.  Ren Faires will have something that is better looking, when they are in season.

A personal favorite I use are SIGG bottles - durable, single-piece aluminum 1 liter bottles that are designed not to impart any taste or chemicals into their contents.  While some won't work IG (like the hippie neon ones), the solid color or some of the other designs work fine.  That, along with a friendly local leatherworker to make you a holster, will ensure that you have water on you at all times, especially after a fight when you're a march from the Inn and a bottle.  SIGGs can be found in most sports or camping stores, and online.

Cafepress.com now allows you to fully customize SIGG bottles with your own images.
