[at-l] frozen water bottles

[hopefl@juno.com]

Some time back it was suggested that water bottles be carried up side
down when the weather is freezing. I've  hiked in temps down in the teens
and found that this idea works well. The pull top and screw on threads
did not freeze up so I was able to get a drink. Now the water at the top,
which was the bottom........uh, what I mean to says is the bottom which
became to top of the bottom.......no that's not right
either.......anyway, the pull top still worked and I could get a drink
even when ice formed inside the bottle.       Hopeful
