The MOFLOW Hydration System, you want it, you need it. I’m here to tell you why.
I’ve got two words for you: pressurized delivery. That’s one of the outstanding features you get with the Polarpak MOFLOW hydration system. But that’s not all you get, how about anti-slosh baffles, Microban construction, quick disconnects, and one of the best designed bite valves as well? Take that, lesser forms of hydration reservoirs!
Here’s how it works, remove the bite valve from the quick disconnect, attach the pump bulb, and squeeze about 60 times. Reattach the bite valve and be amazed as pressurized liquids are delivered to quench your thirst. I initially thought that the all that swapping of bulbs and bite valves would prove to be a royal pain in the tookus, but it turned out to not be a big deal at all.
One thing - you will definitely have to re pressurize the system at some point during use, but it took 4 hours of use while hiking to get to the point that it needed to be re pressurized. All it takes is about 20-30 honks on the bulb to get you back in business. I stowed it in the hip belt pocket of my pack which makes it easy to retrieve on trail runs, bike rides, and hikes.
With other reservoirs you have to suck the liquid out of the system, up the tube and through the valve. This method has been around since hydration systems have been in use, and it’s nice to finally see some real advancements in this department. The MOFLOW was one of the items awarded the Best of Adventure Gear for 2008, proving that it is a top-notch piece of equipment.
Oh, it gets even better. There’s even a optional shower attachment and a soon-to-be-released water filtration system for the MOFLOW. With these options and built-in features, the MOFLOW pressurized hydration system is the closest thing you can get to running water in the backcountry.
Order one from Polarpak directly, and get free shipping! How can you go wrong? Give the MOFLOW a try, I’m sure you’ll be impressed.

Yep, there are caves in the Withlacoochee State Forest. This particular cave, dubbed “Vandal” cave due to all the graffiti, is the largest of the Dames Cave system.

You can’t travel to White Springs without going over to Big Shoals State Park. Well, at least I can’t, and such was the occasion on a weekend back in February when this video was taken.
