I love my Camelbak, too. Between taking photos, observing wildlife I
hope to take a photo of, changing lenses or whatnot, these periodic short breaks make not having to stop to drink water a blessing (otherwise, I'd probably take 1.5 hours per every 3 hours on the trail!
)
As it stands, I find for every 3 hours I'm in the field, about 1 hour of that is spent stationary or moving around in "circles" (scouting the right angle for a photo, documenting a scene in different ways, etc..
Most of my time in camp is spent documenting what I've observed (still far too many, "Interesting bird/animal. Here's the description & photo number so I can figure out
what the heck it was when I get home!")
