Outdoor adventures make you thirsty and your body needs water. We'll make sure this is filled before we go anywhere. Do not drink all your water at once, so you can drink when you are thirsty. Do not drink water from any creek or pond that you may find when we are not together, it may not be clean and could make you sick. Make sure the bottle is always filled.
Water is more important than food.
While it might be tempting to put juice in that bottle, please be aware that sweet liquids will attract both ants and bees. Have your child practice putting the bottle in the compartment and tightening the cap. Let your child know how to conserve the water and to drink only when thirsty. This is important. This blanket can be your shelter while you are waiting for us to find you.
