Field Guide · Hydration
1) Hands‑Free Hydration for Heat & Humidity
Humidity drains you fast. A 2–3L bladder with a bite valve keeps water accessible without breaking stride—perfect for patrol, bike commutes, or photo walks.
2) Micro‑Loadout: EDC + First Aid
Turn your pack into a compact rig: add a trauma bandage, gloves, shears, and tourniquet in a front MOLLE pouch. Keep weight low and centered for mobility.
3) Swap‑In Bladders for Duty, Trail & Range
Keep multiple clean bladders ready (water, electrolyte, rinse). Rotate based on mission: downtown errands, Everglades hikes, or Homestead range day.
4) Cable Management for Comms
Route your tube and radio cables along shoulder straps using keepers/Velcro. This keeps snag hazards down when moving in crowds or brush.
5) Cold‑Pack Ready (Miami Sun Hack)
Freeze your bladder to ~30–40% volume the night before, then top up with water in the morning. Acts like an internal ice pack and stays cool longer.
6) Modular Snacks & Tools
Use side MOLLE for energy chews, multi‑tool, sunscreen, and a compact rain shell. Keep frequently used items high for quick access.
7) Clean & Store Like a Pro
Rinse with warm water after every use; air‑dry fully to prevent funk. For deep cleans, use a mild bladder cleaning tablet and a tube brush.
