Great hot water bottle

Just recently got a 2L and love it. You know it carries water and collapses down when empty so we'll leave that there.

My favorite use so far has been to fill it with boiling water to warm my feet or hold it on my chest. BEWARE though not to put it next to exposed skin until it's had the chance to cool down a bit. A couple weeks ago, I went winter camping in about 8 inches of snow and my leather boots were frozen by morning from the 13F low. During breakfast, I poured boiling water in my Drom bag and put it on my feet. The boots thawed out and dried while I ate breakfast.

I also love to drop it in the bottom of my sleeping bag on really cold nights (again, with a pair of socks on). The thing stays piping hot for hours and doesn't leak.

I haven't used it as a hydro system yet but the little flip valve is easy/perfect for drinking during rest stops.

I'm thinking of ditching my Nalgenes and just going with these because they're so versatile.
