[pct-l] trail shakes

[leestcoast at gmail.com]

Yeah a smaller shaker might be easier to keep reasonably hygenic. I use a 16 oz Zyliss shaker that has a screw-on lid with a snap shut drinking spout. It weighs 3.7 oz. I use it to mix up a soy protein mocha coffee shake in the a.m., then mix up Hammer Recoverite when I stop for the night, then keep it in my tarp tent with a mix of blueberry/iced green tea + a packet of of Oxylent to help stay hydrated during the night (it's spill proof). Of course I could also use it to carry a little extra water through a dry stretch, too.  I think it's worth the extra few ounces.

That's a good question.  I haven't used mine in higher temperatures.  I
believe one solution may be to use a smaller bottle so that it's used more
frequently.  The smaller blender bottle is 20 oz versus 28 oz of the full
size bottle.   The constant flushing of the shake should keep it from
getting too nasty.  As it is, I already drain my full size shaker bottle
about once an hour to hour and a half.

If you're not going to use it for shakes all day, then make the transition
to using water in the blender bottle.  Rinsing it with a few extra drops of
bleach should help too, but I wouldn't drink that.
