We all have a water bottle or a collection of water bottles. We even got a new one at the start of Keeners. Now if you are like me you stay loyal to only one. I was at Palmer Fest one year and happened to be one of the last people to leave the campsite. On one of the picnic tables, there happened to be a green Nalgene sitting there. I looked around and being the last one around the water bottle was clearly left behind. So I picked it up and brought it home with me.
Once I got home the water bottle went through the dishwasher multiple times and had some hardcore cleaning done to it. When it was clean I started using it everyday. To add my own personal edge to it I put many stickers on it. I later got tired of carrying it around at school all day so I put a carabiner on the lid so I could clip it to my backpack. Unfortunately the white lid was a bit cracked and falling apart so I tried many methods of putting it back together which involved duct tape and melting the plastic together. After all of my methods failed I went to Trailhead to buy a new black lid. Now that I have the new lid the water bottle is in prime condition and goes everywhere with me.
I have grown a bit of a relationship with my water bottle. I has been many places with me including all the rivers that I paddle, the ski hills I go to, across the country and of course to all of my classes. Through thick and thin my water bottle has been there beside me keeping me hydrated and happy.
Stay hydrated
