    Oh, wait I guess it is two seperate parts. You get the egro lock valve,



    and then pull the bite valve ( not pictured above) off of it, and then you have an on/off switch without having to deal with the bite valve

    As long as you have gravity working with you, it will drain well just by pinching your bite valve open. Isn't that how you all rinse your drink tubes?

    So if she has it on her back, people will have to hold their cups at about her waist level to get a refill. No problem.

    Not certain if this is a good idea... I don't like to put anything but water in my camelbak bladder as other liquids, especially something with sugars, cause the bladder to get funky.

    That said I have often transferred water from my bladder to someone elses bottle or Camelbak. All you do is remove the bite value (it slides off) and water flows freely. You can, if you don't want to remove the valve, hold the bag up high and squeeze the valve but trust me, that's ackward to do. Why don't you just lok for a boda (sp?) bag instead??? You know, the bag we all used to carry while skiing and carried "snowshoes"...

    Beautifu l- I've reviewed your all of your suggestions with my non-TE friend. She had seen this at an outdoor show and thought it would be fun. http://www.rocketman.com/products.html
    But she doesn't want to pay the big bucks. So a Camelback will have to do.

    She has a cabin on Rainy Lake, Ontario - very close to the Minnesota border. Has lots of American friends there and wanted to host a party to remember. I'll tell you how the Camelback worked out in a couple of weeks when she gets back.

    How about one of those pump up the pressure garden sprayers?
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
