When I hike here in NH, my camelbak tube freezes constantly. Yes.. its THAT cold. I usually just shove the tube down my shirt and let my body warmth heat it up enough to melt the ice inside the tube or prevent freezing.<br><br>
Never had my handheld freeze on me yet.. but I did have slush on my last long run.<br><br>
try filling your handheld with WARM water. By the time you're ready to drink from it, it'll be COLD instead of FROZEN.<br><br>
Keep those gels in a pocket or close to skin and they'll be fine. I don't recommend keeping a gummy bear close to skin though... that could get messy, <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">
