A week for tomorrow I leave for Northern Virginia.  To my surprise I’m still fine tuning equipment.  I bought a new rain jacket that’s on its way from Amazon.  (Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket.)

Today’s equipment is my hydration set-up.  I’ve got 2 Smart Water bottles (750ml & 1L) along with a 2L folding bottle for extra when needed.  Purification is with AquaMira chlorine dioxide drops.  There’s also a Sawyer Squeeze in my bounce box for backup.
