(Before It's News)

We posted on our Facebook page:

Adam Grillot asked below: “Is there any drinkable liquid you can keep in your pack that will not freeze besides hard alcohol?”

Some comments we received:

Comment #1: Gatorade and most sports drinks have enough salt that they take much longer to freeze than water.

Comment #2: Another word of caution, in cold temps, white gas can give you IMMEDIATE and VERY SEVERE frost bite if you spill it on you. Canister stoves are a good bit safer, something like the Jetboil for example.

Comment #3: Keep your Camel-Bak under your coat. Keeps my water from freezing when I hike/camp in the Adirondacks each winter.

Comment #4: Be careful when it is cold enough to freeze water and don’t use your body energy to keep water from freezing or you are inviting hypothermia for yourself by warming water instead of your body with what energy you do have. Far better to let water freeze and use another source of heat to thaw it.

Comment #5: A chemical foot (or hand) warmer, wrapped on your water bottle ($1.00, keep indefinitely in packaging, and work on oxygen) with a bandana will keep water from freezing for approximately 8 hours. It also keeps it warm in cold weather so that drinking it does not drop your core temp drastically.
