CamelBak at Base Camp Dwellingup

Choose around access and what else you carry. A bottle suits a reachable cage. A vest keeps essentials close to the body, while a pack makes room for layers and tools. Try the setup with water inside before judging fit.

A smaller pack still needs to fit the person wearing it. Check the harness, adjustment and loaded feel of Mini M.U.L.E. models. Plan water with the adult responsible for the outing; pack size is not a guide to how much someone should drink.

Follow the cleaning directions for your exact reservoir. Empty it after use, clean the reservoir, hose and valve as directed, then let all parts dry completely before storing. A bottle and a reservoir may need different care; check the manufacturer’s guide before using heat or a dishwasher.
