Why is it necessary to bring a thermos when hiking? Six reasons to tell you

Would you take a thermos bottle to mountain climbing? What a wonderful treat to have a warm drink on the top of a mountain, in your tent at night or early in the morning! Whether you are making a cup of coffee or drinking ginger tea, it is the ultimate enjoyment. Although mountaineering requires light weight, why are some people willing to reserve a space for a thermos bottle and be willing to bear the weight? Let’s take a look at the magical benefits of thermos bottles!

  • Quick replenishment

Whether it is cooking water, brewing drinks or mobile water, just open the thermos bottle and you can enjoy hot water immediately, quickly satisfying your needs and replenishing your hydration.

  • Warm up before and after summiting

Mountaineering trips usually require starting early in the morning, when the temperature outside the tent is still very low. Drinking some hot water can wake up the body and increase activity level. After climbing to the top, you will sweat a lot while traveling and the temperature at the top of the mountain is usually low. Hot water can not only replenish the lost water, but also prevent body heat from losing too quickly and make you feel colder.

  • Make your own drinks

Brown sugar, ginseng, coffee, electrolyte drinks, whether they are ice drinks or hot drinks, you can put the drinks you are used to or like to drink in a thermos bottle and drink them immediately to add energy to yourself. (Before filling acidic drinks, please confirm whether your thermos is suitable for holding acidic liquids.)

  • Resist low temperature

In the mountains, there are only two seasons: winter and snow season. When you get wet from heavy rain, the hot water in the thermos bottle can bring unexpected warmth. In the cold mountains, a sip of hot water will instantly increase your warmth.

  • Replenish hot water at any time

If your teammates happened to boil extra hot water, you might as well put some in a thermos bottle to save the effort and time of boiling water.

  • A little blessing in the mountains

Imagine that there is a beautiful scenery in front of you, open the thermos bottle, slowly sip the warm drink, enjoy the leisure time, and instantly feel that you are so rich and your life is enough!

Little reminder

After winter, the temperature will get lower and lower, which is when the thermos bottle comes into play. Today's thermos bottles are getting better and better at controlling temperature, last longer, and are lighter. They are not only suitable for mountain climbing, but also very practical in daily life. Before use, rinse the inside of the bottle with boiling hot water. Increase the temperature and then add hot water. The heat preservation effect will be better!

Best capacity recommendations

350-500ml is a capacity that hikers generally consider lightweight and easy to use. Why would you take a thermos bottle up the mountain? Or do you have any other tips for using thermos bottles? Feel free to share with us!
