There isn't much I know of to keep the hose from freezing. That's the downside of the hydration packs.

Keep your water bottle in your sleeeping bag at night and in your jacket next to your body during the day if it's that cold.

 

Not a sure thing though... I've had a bottle freeze inside my down jacket while on the move.... when it's that cold it's time to stop and brew up on a regular timetable. bigdrink.gif

There are a couple things you can do for your bladder.

 

1) If you decide to put your bladder in your pack, you may keep the bite valve in your collar. If you blow the water back into the bladder after every time you drink, less freezing will take place.

 

2) If you actually wear the camelbak backpack under your coat it will not freeze. Once again, keeping the tube under the jacket will help out immensely.

 

Good Luck,

 

Jason
