Bottles / Thermos
^{3+ Liters in high camps}

1-liter BPA-free bottles with a wide mouth. Nalgene 1-liter Wide Mouth Bottles are durable and healthy. Narrow mouth bottles are not recommended because they are difficult to fill and are more likely to freeze cold. We advise including a slice of a citric inside to have better flavor and drink 5-6 liters of water per day if necessary.

Thoroughly vacuum insulated thermos with a wide mouth and a capacity of 1 liter or 1.5 liters, stainless steel with a large, leak-proof mouth cap is the key to critical heat and hydration at higher altitudes in colder conditions.

A camelbak is not usually used in high altitude camps because the water in the hose freezes when low temperatures.

Personal Crockery

Long handle, hard plastic scoop for comfortable glove grip, and easy access to deep bowls while wearing gloves. Plastic models are preferable as titanium or other metal models become cold.

Plastic knife and fork.

Plate with capacity for 2 cups with lid. There are a variety of styles ranging from fully rigid to folding plates. It would help if you chose a lightweight plastic container with a lid to eat comfortably, and that is firm enough to use with gloves.

Insulating cup with a removable lid. It must retain heat well and be spill-resistant as it allows safe consumption of hot drinks or small portions of soup. There are lightweight, double-walled cups with ergonomic shapes and textured grips that take up almost no space and keep liquids warm for long.
