Hey Paddlewisers- After reading a discussion at the beginning of the summer about using camelbacks while kayaking I finally decided that having three sports it could be used for was a good enough excuse to shell out the cash and buy a camel back. so I did, and I absolutely love it, haven't been dehydrated all summer etc etc. But, there is one problem. The water tastes completely nasty. I tried to dry it out completely and scrub the insides with that little camelback brush, and I even tried a sterilizing chlorine rinse per the directions, but nothing seems to kill the nasty green film that always shows up inside it after it gets wet. Especially on hiking trips of several days when it gets periodically emptied and refilled. Does anyone else have this problem? How do you treat it? I've tried all the suggestions in the little direction book. Should I just start filling it with lemonade and hope that hides the taste???? -Allison *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Nov 01 1999 - 10:02:16 PST
