Cheap Tricks #22: Carry a Water Bottle But...

If you are going to be out all day shooting, it's a good idea to carry a water bottle. Dealing with dehydration while carrying a lot of heavy equipment can be dangerous. But when you are carrying a water bottle be sure to keep it on the outside of your bag. If you thought a leaky pen inside your camera bag was bad try a leaky water bottle or how about a soda bottle? Always carry liquids outside your camera bag.
