  • Some use vinegar, some just use soap and water, I like bleach for cleaning. The key to storing your camelbak after use is you have to ensure it is completely dry when storing it.
    I have a link here on how to use bleach to clean water before drinking: www.thinklikeah...

    After 12 years since it was issued in basic, I think it’s time to clean mine. Mind you I haven’t used it since I got out 9 years ago.

    Fantastic idea with the blow dryer. Simple but effective.

    The camelback cleaning kit has this cool thing for drying. It has a hanger hook and a flexible frame type thing you fold up, stick in the bladder, and it spreads, kinda like how they do the ships in bottles.

    Yep I use a little bleach also. Then rinse and I like to clean the corners with a little brush. In the Army we got a bunch of cleaning tabs that camelbak makes. In the field you just pop them in there, shake, and rinse. Good to go.

    Rick, that's pretty much how I do it too. After I drain the bleach solution I usually put a couple spoonfuls of baking soda in then fill it up with fresh water. Shake it up, drain, and flush a few times. Seems to kill the bleach taste faster.

      the carrier says 2 teaspoons baking soda to freshen and 2 teaspoons bleach to wash. does that sound about right? additionally i also got a cleaning kit with it and the bladder dryer has the thing hanging fill port up. will that work or do i need to hang it upside down like you have it?

    You should put some paper towels bunched up inside camel pack to keep it not flat inside and suck up the moisture

    A bent coat hanger is also good for airing out a camelbak, and they also sell cleaning kits with everything you need. Do they still use Desert Water Bags out west?

      I'm pretty sure 10% bleach is way too much bud. maybe 1%.

      @rustyschackelford9645 2 роки тому

      @@justaguy4real Household bleach is already very diluted. 10% by volume is taught as an easy mix for when the whole squad is covered in body fluid and you need a LOT of sanitizer. 10% by VOLUME of already diluted household bleach.........Bud lol

      they love it when they are shivering and wet, it is nice hot air drying their fur allowing them to maintain heat once their hair is dry and fluffy.

    A CHP officer came into my school the other day and told all the students that anyone under the age of 21 in California can NOT refuse a field sobriety test. If they do they face a 1 year license suspension. Is this true and what would be the best course of action if you were stopped and you would most likely blow above the limit?

      You are going to get worse if you take it and fail, so if you are sure you are not over then take it, if you think you might be over, refuse.

      I would rather Bleach since it cleans better and can be used to sanitize dirty water, I also would rather the smell of bleach since it smells clean to me, vinegar not so much.
