I am an old but determined hiker who realized that innovative gear will keep me on the trail much longer then I might have. Due to arthritic shoulders and limited reach to my water bottles, I created something similar to what Matt did but with much less success and more primitive. It worked marginally well. Matt refined this concept and I cant wait to get on the trail with this improved system. Thanks Matt.

[@raymondchen6906]

Thanks Frozen! These types of reviews are helpful, especially love that you recommend things that may be of use to others despite maybe not using yourself. Very transparent.

[@evonnemaas3134]

I would love the water bottle system. I am 82 years old, very disorganized, and have attention deficit disorder. For almost a year now, I have found it nearly impossible to remember to stop what I"m doing in one room or another throughout the day and go to the kitchen ro take drinks of water. I was told that my muscle cramps are moat assuredly from dehydration. I thought how nice it would be to find some kind of a water "satchel" I could wear around the house and sip away as needed all day long. Lo and behold while searching for a "wearable water satchel," I came upon links featuring hydration bladders. Scrolling led me to your post, and it sounded exactly like what I need. I will try to figure out how to save contact info for your site so I can order one in the event I am not chosen to receive one. I am so glad I found this. I was afraid nothing like this existed and I"d have to dream up something by myself. I am more than glad I found this...I am ecstatic! THANK YOU for your post.

[@jenlytleprincipalbroker878]

Been a fan of your channel for awhile now and you’re vlogs have inspired me to attempt my first thru hike on the Foothills Trail in March. This type bottle system would be perfect for my little “T-Rex” arms. Thanks Frozen for always keeping your content informative.

[@papagroothikes6560]

Always sound advice. Your channel was one of those I used when preparing for my 2021 AT thru hike. I usually carry two Smart Water bottles, one on chest and the other in pack side pouch. The Smart bottle system is just what I'm looking for to allow access to both bottles without having to take off my pack. Happy trail

[@GingerByrn1]

Perfect timing! I have been looking looking at ways to combine a hydration tube with a bottle that is more secure. I would like the water bottle system, please. 😊

[@jpgst4366]

Cool find!!! Always stayed away from bladders due to refilling and cleaning issues, but the handsfree drinking always seemed like it would be nice. This gives you the best of both worlds. Get to keep the Smart water bottles and have hands free drinking. The water bottle system looks like a winner for me.

[@Go-zi1py]

I've been watching you for years, since your evolution from switching to hiking in Crocks to loosing your phone you've come a long way and I love your channel. I'd love the smart water bottle system! Happy Trails.

[@WONDERWOMANSHELLEY]

CLEVER IDEA FROZEN!!!! Absolutely love your videos packed full with suggestions and gear reviews - please keep them coming! I would be super happy to try the water bottle version 👌 Cheers!

[@edfarthing]

Smart water bottle - everything you said about the bladder is correct and I've been trying to figure out how to use the tube with a bottle - and there it is. Thanks!!! So glad I"met" you on the AT through hike - I have loved watching your videos since.

[@paulawebb700]

I'm a older hiker so this would really save me some stress ..I'm a smart water bottle user .. This will change drinking bottles ..love it ..keep on keepin on..

[@lorettabailey3724]

I think anything that would keep my hands free is a plus- I would love the water bottle adapter. Thanks for the update

[@maryellenhikes5953]

Water bottle system would work for me. Thanks for your hospitality here Frozen! Love the channel. 🙂👊🏻

[@lostandfoundphil2038]

Dude that's one of the better systems ive seen. Thank you for sharing this find! id love to try it on a smart water bottle

[@NickLoganbill]

I just ordered one for Smart Water bottles. Thanks for this video!!

[@daveguertin5897]

Great concept I'd like to try. I prefer the water bottle set up. Thanks for all the useful content. Keep up the good work.

[@justjonoutdoors]

You may not be interested, but this is absolutely what I’ve been dreaming of! I’ve cobbled together a number of different kludges no where near as elegant as this solution looks. I would love to win the water bottle system.

[@squitiere]

I like that water bottle system, Frozen. It would solve my under-hydration issues on trail while avoiding the whole sanitation routine that the bladder system requires.

[@nky_brad503]

Interesting design. I've seen some homemade versions of the water bottle design before, but having the "kit" is super nice. The water bottle system would be wonderful to try out! Thanks for the opportunity, Frozen!

[@rickshears1]

I have been hiking and camping for years but just did my first backpacking last summer. I was immediately hooked. Now I am learning and getting all the gear and this sounds great. I have used a bladder and agree it is difficult to tell how much is left. So I would love to win the one for water bottles. Thanks

[@thehappyhiker]

So awesome! Was just researching a way to solve this problem when someone sent me to this video. Looks perfect!!!! Would love to use this with my smart water bottles. Fingers crossed!

[@colingalentine5197]

Thanks for sharing. I would definitely be interested in trying the water bottle version.

[@chadd.9935]

Great job Frozen. I like the water bottle system

[@Wondering_Fireball]

I loved to have the water bottle system. Thanks for the tip frozen!

[@razzbazle1582]

Love this idea! I would like the water bottle system. I'm a former bladder user myself. I never felt like I could get the bladder clean enough after a trip. I used to fill it with vinegar to try to kill any mold, mildew or bacteria growing while I stored the bladder🤷‍♂️

[@janiscrenshaw4350]

I have been wanting to switch from the water bladder to just using the water bottle but have come across the same issues as you described. This would be perfect for this newbie on the trail. 😁

[@deltakilojuliet]

Thanks Frozen for the product overview. It looks like a great middle ground. I would be interested in trying the regular water bottle system.

[@tericlanton]

Thanks for sharing this new product. I'd like the water bottle system.

[@connorbrohl]

Frozen you are incredible! Keep up the great work, and that water bottle system looks super interesting!

[@sandrazern649]

I'd love to try out the water bottle system. Thanks for sharing about this product!

[@debbiehughes1358]

Gave up the bladder system a few years back. This is a great idea because I have problems reaching behind for my water bottle and losing my rhythm hiking. Hate getting left behind. Thanks for the opportunity. Either system would be ok. I hike with a nalgen in winter and water bottle the rest of the time.

[@elizabethtudhope8002]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing ! I’d love to try the water bottle version

[@GjPeddy]

Thanks Frozen! I'd be interested in trying the water bottle system

[@iankiefer]

What a great idea! Combining the best of both worlds. I'd like the water bottle system, please.

[@tomjohnson9338]

That water bottle system looks pretty interesting to try. Haven't used a bladder in years and for many of the reasons you stated. 28mm bottles are easy to buy, use, and recycle.

[@meganhester2802]

Love this system! The water bottle system would be great to try on our next adventure.

[@AROOnline]

Interesting product! Thanks for the review. I’d be interested in the water bottle setup.

[@jflow53569]

I have bursitis in both shoulders from doing too many push-ups while I was in the Army years ago. That caused me to not be able to reach my packs side pockets for my water bottles. I would greatly appreciate the water bottle tube setup. Awesome videos by the way! Thanks!

[@williek76]

Thank you Frozen for another excellent vid. I've been a follower from very early on. I never understood the attraction of the bladder system other than the water delivery component. This product solves that. I've used similar to great success but this product looks to be over much better quality. I'd be interested in the water bottle system. Thank you for the opportunity and the link.

[@KN4OKadventures]

Water bottle is my choice and thanks Frozen, You Da Man!

[@buzzboykin9982]

Very interesting product. Would love to try the water bottle version. Thanks for the review.

[@mikepowers8607]

Looks like a neat product. I'm gearing up for my first backpacking season ever and I think it'd be a good time to try out the water bottle system. Thanks for these videos and GO PENS!

[@BearTrekAdventures]

Very interesting and practical. I don’t use the hoses anymore, but looks like a nice product.

[@roberthosier3164]

Frozen, Thank you for the video!! I stopped using my water bladder system after 3 nights on the trail! I have been using a 48 oz Nalgene bottle and find it works wonderful for longer and multi-day trips. I would love to try the One Bottle system for a Nalgene water bottle. Thanks for all the great information you put out on your channel!

[@photonjack6256]

Love to try the smart water bottle system. I have used hydration reservoirs too and agree with their drawbacks

[@sceardwomen101]

Thanks Frozen. I would love the water bottle system.

[@mattknapp2942]

Smart water bottle system. Thanks for the review

[@VivianInTheOC]

Super cool! Ive been looking for something like this for SOOOO long! I would like the one for the Smart Water bottle. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!😀👍❤️

[@KaiMirra]

drill a hole in the cap of a smart water bottle and push a hose into it, just make sure the hole is slightly smaller than the hose and poke a small hole in the cap with a hot thumb tack as well for airflow so you don't build up negative pressure in the bottle.

[@michelhenry6317]

I would love the water bottle system. Love your videos frozen. Keep 'em coming.

[@brianc1651]

So cool! I would love the water bottle system. I use my bladder for ADK day hikes. Backpacking, it is always just bottles.

[@alexbruni2410]

Haven't been watching lately, though I believe you do reasonably thorough and helpful reviews. Nice job. Some things need to be possible, plus I completely agree with not being able to see the water level on shorter hikes. I would likely go got the WATER BOTTLE hose as I have a larger water bottle and they fit more easily into the side pockets and front pockets.

[@Stewbphoto]

Awesome!! Just what I needed Smart water bottle

[@midknightrider58]

Really Cool Looking Product!

[@wakullafree1]

Love your channel. Wound like to have the smart water bottle system.

[@jacob3409]

Thanks for sharing things you feel that other people would find useful. I would like to try the regular water bottle system if chosen!

[@outdooradventureswithshane3319]

I would like the water bottle system. Looks interesting and I won't end up like a pretzel!!

[@robbthompson8081]

I just got a Zpacks Arc Haul and it doesn’t have a sleeve or a ton of room for my bladder so I’m looking into other ways to store water. I’ve always hated the idea of reaching back for a smart water bottle but this takes care of that. Best of both worlds. Would love to try it out man.

[@timdutton69]

Awesome! I'd like to check out the water bottle system.

[@jamesplyler9892]

Water Bottle system! I also ditched my hydration bladder for long hikes, for the same reasons you did! Looks pretty convenient!

[@hinker8]

Pretty cool system. It is hard for me to get my bottle out of my side pockets so I have been looking for a solution. I think it’s my age and not my pack’s fault. lol Thanks for the great content on your channel. I have been enjoying watching your videos. I would love to have the bottle system.

[@RyanWaldroop]

Very cool! I'd like the water bottle system.

[@joecapers6743]

I like it, Frozen! I'd be interested in the water bottle system. Thx.

[@michaelzabriskie2105]

The Water Bottle system seems to be perfect as I don't like the bladder system myself, it's a hassle. Hadn't seen these before until your video. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@melodylunsford7448]

Yes, I've been wishing something like this was available! Thank you for showing these. I would love to win the water bottle system!

[@HikingWithWhiskers]

Love this Frozen!! We start the Appalachian Trail February 28th! Perfect timing!!🥾🥾⛺️

[@snephtar]

This looks great. Would love to try it with water bottles ❤️

[@jshaf]

the system for smart water bottles seems like a good idea, I usually take two smart bottles with me on a day hike and a combination of a Blatter with two litters and then the two bottles for longer trips. would love to try one of these for the smart bottles. stuck inside this weekend fighting a sinus infection and I am glad I happened on to this episode :)

[@brianwalker8208]

Awesome! I prefer the smart bottle version!

[@lightfoottreks]

Big fan of your channel! Thanks for the recommendation - I would be interested in the water bottle system.

[@bxf1_]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I personally love bladders & I love these too! I would prefer the Nalgene set up please. Thank you.

[@clintongauthier8440]

Interesting product, I'd love the Nalgene system for my day hike pack and even my disc golf bag. Thanks for sharing!

[@richardknowlton9945]

Thanks for the opportunity! I like these kind of informative vids with no “sales” agenda. I absolutely HATE bladders!!! This is a good viable option. I would like the water bottle version, however, if taken I could use the other. Good luck everyone 🍀

[@stevemcwherter9562]

The water bottle system is what I like. Being able to replace the bottle itself on trail with a smart bottle is a plus.

[@JimiJimiYork]

I’d love to have the water bottle system!! Love your videos man!!

[@jeffrinderle4030]

65 years old and have been car and canoe camping for over 45 years. Gonna bite the bullet and start solo backpacking. Mostly the Allegheny National Forest. Always watch your videos for the valuable info you supply.

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Nice video Frozen I switched to a pouch on my strap and it is working out good for me. I ditched the bladder after my 3rd or 4th hike. Take Care hope the family is doing well.

[@FrozensAdventures]

We are. Thanks Warren!

[@db.mc2]

Thanks Frozen 👊 appreciate you my friend, stay safe and take care 👍cool water bottle system 👍

[@ENTITEA]

I'd love the water bottle system!

[@toddrandazzo5534]

Would love the water bottle system. Thanks for all your videos Frozen. Please keep it up.

[@xandrakroh9636]

I would love to try the Water bottle system! Giveaways are so fun. Thanks frozen.

[@iamloved223]

Thanks for sharing the review with us, I would get so much use out of the water bottle system! I have yet to find a pack where I can reach the side pockets.

[@danweaver68]

I would love to try the water bottle system it looks like something that would work well for me

[@jimtisdale6156]

Thanks Frozen. I would be interested in the smart water bottle version

[@kimkaverman5495]

Love watching your videos. Great information. I would love the water bottle hydration system.

[@Talonboshi]

Awesome Jason!! I was just thinking of doing something like this ( and BTW, it was Lucky who had one Im pretty sure) this.. just got one . thanks!!!!

[@scottcrews2240]

Jason, been a follower for several years now. Love the content. I am interested in the water bottle version!!!

[@lynxx1999]

What a great idea. I have been using Smart Water bottles for a couple of years now with my Osprey Pack, and even with the 'easy to reach' horizontal bottle pouch, I still find I struggle a bit, this would help a lot. I would love to try the Smart Water version.

[@bloorazzberries]

Very helpful video! I would love the nalgene bottle system. I have been researching for my next thru hike and it looks like the best option for me.

[@steveseales7561]

I’d love to try out the Water Bottle System! Keep rockin’ these great videos Frozen! We love watching your channel!

[@danielossman6464]

I am very new to hiking and I came across your video on the water bottle system....love to know where to get one. I just bought an Osprey backpack and starting to get my accessories. The bladders I hear leak and take up space in your pack. This is a great system, thank you for the video.

[@matthewmcguire5217]

Good review. I’m interested in the water bottle system.

[@anniford5215]

I could see myself definitely using the Nalgene set up. It’s pretty rad! 👍🏻

[@Doc_Watson]

Either system would be great, but would prefer the water bottle system. Thank you for the great review and giveaway!

[@toddacheson]

Just about the coolest thing I've stumbled across in awhile. Thank you for this information. Order submitted!

[@FrozensAdventures]

Report back if you wouldn't mind! I haven't tried these much. It was more I thought my audience would be interested.

[@toddacheson]

@@FrozensAdventures received my order yesterday. Tried it out today, and it works as you would expect. (Smart Water type bottle). It's a great alternative to using a bladder.

[@toddacheson]

I should add, that after inspecting the design, I was able to make my own bottle cap that accept my hydration hose. one(1) $0.69 3/8" rubber grommet from the hardware store, a drill, and a cap was all it took to rig up my own cap. Not as nice, but still functional.

[@FrozensAdventures]

Nice!

[@imthecook]

Hey Frozen - great concept that mixes the convenience of a tube and the ability to know your water level. I like the liter version the most. Oh yeah and GO PENS!

[@noahgreene946]

Water bottle system. Love the videos keep it up!!

[@Dr.Pepper_not]

rigged up something similar but tough to get sealed like you said so definitely interested in water bottle system!

[@floydmietus6624]

that's awesome I like the water bottle system

[@boomnerd]

Nice. One for a smart water bottle will be handy for my day hike pack which I have to take off every time I need a sip.

[@salvadormontesdeoca5560]

That’s pretty dope! Water bottle system for this guy. Thanks! 🤣
