Hydration

Stay Hydrated in the Backcountry and Beyond

Did you know the human body is about 60% water? That means proper hydration isn’t just important, it’s essential, especially when you’re off the grid. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, dizziness, confusion, and even serious medical issues. Whether you're chasing elk deep in the backcountry or setting up camp for the weekend, staying hydrated should be at the top of your gear list.

At BlackOvis, we carry a wide selection of camping and backpacking hydration gear to keep you fueled and focused in the wild. Shop trusted brands like Katadyn, MSR, SteriPen, Platypus, and reliable water filtration and purification systems. Pair it with a durable water bottle or hydration bladder, and you’re good to go. Don’t let dehydration ruin your hunt, gear up and drink up!

Proper hydration is one of the most critical, yet often overlooked, factors in outdoor success.

When you’re deep in the wild, miles from the nearest water source, or hiking long distances with a heavy pack, having reliable hydration gear transforms your experience. You’re able to:

• Stay energized and alert for longer treks and hunts
• Reduce the risk of heat exhaustion or hypothermia
• Maintain steady muscle function and joint lubrication
• Improve recovery during and after exertion

Our selection at BlackOvis offers smart, durable solutions that make hydration convenient, clean, and hands-free.

Hunting hydration packs are a critical piece of extra gear for any serious outdoorsman or woman. These large packs are engineered to carry ample water while allowing for easy sipping without stopping your pace or fumbling with bottles. Most models include:

• Hydration reservoirs (bladders) with secure, leak-proof designs
• Insulated hose covers to keep water flowing in freezing or hot conditions
• Ergonomic hydration backpacks that balance weight and pack hunting essentials with drinking tubes and carry straps
• Multiple extra storage compartments for gear, energy bar snacks, and safety equipment

Hydration isn’t just about carrying water, it’s also about accessing clean, safe water. Our curated inventory of hunting hydration gear includes:

• Water filters and purifiers: Portable, lightweight options from Katadyn and SteriPEN that remove bacteria, protozoa, and viruses.
• Water treatment tablets: Easy-to-carry chemical solutions for quick disinfection.
• Collapsible reservoirs: Space-saving bladders perfect for packing out empty and filling fresh.

Having access to reliable water purification in most packs ensures you’re never caught without drinkable water, no matter the environment or season.

Our range of camping hydration packs combines comfort, convenience, and durability for every type of camper from minimalist backpackers to family car campers. Features in many packs you’ll find include:

• Adjustable, padded shoulder straps and back panels for extended wear
• Hydration reservoir in multiple sizes from 1.5L to 3L and beyond
• Integrated hose routing and bite valves for easy drinking on the move

For camping and hiking enthusiasts, reliable hydration gear means less downtime, improved energy, and more time enjoying the outdoors.

Just like hunters, campers need access to clean water and dependable hydration systems whether in hot or cold weather. Our camping hydration gear lineup includes:

• Portable filtration systems that make water from streams and lakes safe for drinking
• Wide-mouth openings of bottles for easy filling and cleaning
• Thermoses and insulated mugs to enjoy hot beverages on chilly mornings
• Hydration reservoirs compatible with most hydration packs to replace worn or damaged bladders quickly

With BlackOvis’ camping hydration gear, you’ll never worry about running dry or drinking unsafe water on your outdoor adventures.

Hydration is foundational to your success in the backcountry. The right hunting hydration packs and camping hydration gear from BlackOvis keep you energized, alert, and ready for whatever the wild throws your way. Don’t compromise on your water strategy, explore our full selection today and gear up to hunt harder, hike farther, and camp longer. 

Selecting the right hydration gear depends on your specific needs, terrain, and hunt or trip length. Here are a few factors to consider:

• Duration: For short day hunts or hikes, a 1.5–2L hydration pack or water bottle may suffice. For multi-day trips, look for 3L+ capacity or multiple water storage options.
• Weight: Every ounce counts when trekking. Lightweight hydration reservoirs and compact filters help keep pack weight manageable.
• Water Source: Filter-based purification is best when relying on natural water sources like streams and ponds. Carry bottled water or treated water for areas without reliable sources.
• Climate: Insulated reservoirs and hose covers keep water from freezing in winter or overheating in summer.
• Pack Compatibility: Make sure your hydration reservoir fits comfortably in your existing pack or hunting vest.
