“Water is life’s matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.”
– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, M.D.
This Mojave Hydration Backpack is key to survival. You can survive for weeks, even months without food. Try going three days without water and you end up dead or in the intensive care unit.
I’ve been on multiple hikes in the blazing heat were we come across someone who wasn’t prepared. I’m not saying I saved their lives, but I certainly helped some people avoid heat stroke and made sure they were hydrated before sending them back to their camp or cars. Being out in the heat without a good supply of Hydration is just asking for trouble.
When a natural disaster or the Zombie Apocalypse strikes, I have a good distance to cover to get to my Bolt Hole. That means I’m going to have to march, and doing that without Hydration might just leave me unable to deal with whatever emergencies come up along the way. There are parts of that hike where I won’t be able to avoid exposure to people, but for long stretches it is woods or mountainous, and I don’t plan on running out of water on the way.
Mojave Hydration Backpack Scoring
I don’t go out hiking, hunting, or camping without my Mojave Hydration Backpack. Dehydration impacts your ability to react and in a survival situation, that can mean a slow or quick death. A quick one if your reaction times are slower than whatever is coming at you. A slow one if you die of actual dehydration. In either case, I want to avoid both.
Because water is so critical, this Mojave Hydration Backpack can have an extreme impact on your survival chances. This Hydration Backpack scores a 902/1000.
