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

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

• Fast Supply

Whether it's cooking water, brewing drinks or mobile water, just open the thermos and you can enjoy hot water immediately to quickly meet your needs and replenish your water.

• Warming up before and after the summit

Mountaineering trips usually require setting off 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. After reaching the summit, due to the heavy sweating during the walk and the usually low temperature at the top of the mountain, hot water can not only replenish the lost water but also prevent the body heat from being lost too quickly and avoid feeling even colder.

• Make your own drink

Brown sugar, ginseng, coffee, electrolyte drinks, whether iced or hot, you can put the drinks you are used to or like to drink in a thermos, open it and drink it, to add energy to yourself. (Before filling the thermos with acidic drinks, please confirm whether your thermos is suitable for acidic liquids.)

• Resist low temperatures

In the mountains, there are only two seasons: winter and snowy season. When you get wet due to heavy rain, the hot water in the thermos can bring unexpected warmth. In the cold mountains, take a sip of hot water and you will feel instantly warmed.

• Refill hot water at any time

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

• A little happiness in the mountains

Imagine that there is a beautiful scenery in front of you, you open the thermos, slowly sip the warm drink, and enjoy the leisurely time. In an instant, you feel so rich and your life is enough!

Tips

The temperature will get lower and lower after winter, which is when thermos bottles come in handy. Today's thermos bottles have better and better temperature control effects, last longer, and are lighter. They are not only suitable for mountaineering, but are also very practical in daily life. Before use, rinse the inside of the bottle with boiling water, raise the temperature, and then fill it with hot water. This will have a better insulation effect!

Optimal capacity recommendations

350-500ml is a capacity that climbers generally consider to be lightweight and easy to use. Why would you bring a thermos up the mountain? Are there any other tips for using thermos bottles? Feel free to share with us!
