Hydrapack?

I have one made by Deuter with a big opening. I like the pack sensibilities too, but I am learning how to drink from bottles on the road too.

I have one from North Face with a wide opening and detachable hose. Never tried a hydrapack.

I also run hot water through after I'm done, and then put a couple paper towels inside to sop up anything that's left. I've never frozen or refrigerated a bladder.

Then again, stuff here (besides month-old bread sealed in plastic) seems to dry out long before it grows anything.

Even the bread dries out here, unless we leave it over the steaming kettle.
