I have found a wonderful use for a my hydration system.

when using my phantom, i try to sight by using the sight rail. With the tank attached to the but of the gun and whereing a mask this becomes phyically impossible. So i tryed a remote. The problem with this is that all harnesses are way to small in the waste and cause the tank to bounce up and down on my spine when i run. OWWWWW, that hurts like a mofo after about 3 games. I wanted this problem to stop i started to think. Bingo, i have a camelbak!!!!I put the remote on my tank so that the hose comes off the right side(Im righty) and by god i have a remote system that doesn't break my spine!

i also don't need guppies so this idea works great!

Good idea. I use my Camelbak to hold water, though. I usually only use it in scenario or big game situations.

I saw a guy with a remote tank in one of those tiny "Girly" backpacks. It was just big enough for the tank.

I'd get a Powerpuff Girl backpack!

hmmm.. Good Idea! That would make the hose not have to stretch as far also, and make it easier to move with. Now that I think of it, with the tank mounted high on your back like that, you could (velcro?) attach the line to your sleeve. No more snags!

i tryed the velco but found that it gets too worn out after any water or sever dirt comes in contact with it. I found that dark green duct tape works extreemly well. It doesn't stick out nearly as bad as the silver or yellow.

And i have lost the lower back pain i get after wearing a tank for too long.
