[156] Drinking tube holder
Author: Steffen Brunk, Germany
A comfortable solution - bye bye clasp!
One or two times a year I go hiking with friends. Usually, we are out and about for approx. one week with everything that you need to survive: "field kitchen", tent, food, etc.
Before this years' hike in May I realized at the very last moment that the clasp that holds my drinking tube was missing. Without it, the drinking tube hangs down all the time and loses water - and water is very important when hiking. I had only 2 minutes left before we had to go to the train.
In a matter of seconds it became clear: In no time I ripped off two strips of standard duct tape. I used one to attach a S-12-06-N to the strap of the backpack. The other one taped three small S-05-02-N to the drinking tube.
I could have done it a bit more nicely (the whole thing looks rather wrinkled), but at the time I was in a hurry. However, the construction fulfilled its mission perfectly.
I liked the construction so much that I don't even use the original tube holder anymore.
But I improved the design a little bit:
I attached the small disc magnets to the drinking tube with a transparent adhesive tape. It looks a little bit more elegant this way.
