Quick reality check before we get into it.
You’re getting this because at some point you said “yeah, I’ll hear what these guys are up to.” If that moment has passed, no worries at all. There’s an unsubscribe link below. We will not take it personally. We will, however, assume you’ve mastered hydration and moved on to greater things.
For the rest of you…
We’ve been in Bali. Surfing. Traveling. Doing our best to look like we know what we’re doing.
And somehow, despite all available technology, drinking water has been the hardest part.
At various points over the last two weeks:
• One of us unpacked an entire bag in the sand just to refill water
• One of us discovered a leak… mid-walk… the hard way
• We both panic-sipped because we had no idea how much water was left
• There was a moment where everything tasted like warm plastic regret
This is not a niche problem. This is a “why is this still like this” problem.
However, we have been busy starting to build something.
Not a “revolutionary hydration ecosystem.”
Not something with 47 features and a charging cable.
Just something that removes the dumb parts.
We’re early. Like… “this might be a terrible idea, but we don’t think it is” early.
But the more time we spend outside, the more obvious it feels.
Over the next few months:
• We’re opening up a small early group
• We’ll share what’s working and what’s not
• And we’ll likely open a crowdfunding round to bring this to life properly
If you want in before this becomes a real thing:

No spam. No funnels. No “circle back next quarter.”
Just a front row seat while we figure this out.
If not, all good. We’re glad you were here for at least one hydration-related identity crisis.
P.S. If your current system has ever made you question your life choices mid-hike, we’re building this for you.
P.P.S. We may have slightly overestimated how many hoodies two families actually need. If you’d like to step in before things get awkward at the next holiday, you can grab one here.
