Hydration Pack Dryer System

After many, many, months of tinkering and tweaking, (I think) I'm ready to share my Hydration Pack Dryer System!

We've all been there before. You've just finished a run or hike or backpacking trip or whatever and now you've got to clean your hydration bladder. Washing it is one thing but drying it is another. There's no easy way to dry it out and this is my attempt to remedy that.

This model can be used a number of ways to dry a variety of hydration packs. If your hydration bladder has a screw-on lid, we've got you covered. If the entire top opens up, we've got you covered too. If you want to hang it up, I've included a hook where you can hang it by the drinking tube port (via the small post) or just pinch the pack if that works better. Heck, you can even use this system to dry bottles if that's what your heart desires.

This includes all the pieces I use on a regular basis. I've included some photos showing some possible setups but don't let that stop you from exploring other possibilities. As you can see, you don't need to use all the parts every time. Pick and chose what works for you and your hydration pack.

I also made it easy to break down and fit all the pieces together so you can toss it in a drawer or easily bring it with you on a trip. Here's a video showing how that's done: 

If you use soft flasks/bottles as well, you should check out my Soft Flask Accessory Kit. The pieces are compatible with this model so you can mix and match as needed. It's pretty convenient to be able to dry the hydration bladder and the soft flasks at the same time.

Thanks for checking it out! If you have any constructive feedback, I'm all ears. And if you're having any issues, let me know so we can try to work through it.
