□ don't use a bladder system (platypus/ camelbak) - the water in the tube/mouthpiece will freeze, and if the water in the bladder freezes, it may puncture the bladder.
□ use a water bottle (wide mouth works well)
□ flip your water bottle upside down when storing it. The surface of the water will freeze, but since it'll be in the bottom of your bottle, you will still be able to drink out of it.
□ the newer double walled water bottles are great (though super heavy) in cold weather. (Hydro, yeti)
□ don't forget to drink! Staying hydrated is key to staying warm.
□ if you use a water filter, keep your filter warm/don't let it freeze with water in it. It will be useless until you can thaw it out.
