Abstract: A hands-free personal hydration delivery system has a tubing assembly that has one end that detachably connects to a feed tube for a container of fluid worn on the back or torso of a user. The other end of the tubing assembly is coupled to a bite valve which is opened when manipulated by the user's mouth to allow fluid to be drawn by suction applied by the user, and is closed when not being manipulated so as to cut off fluid flow in an air-tight condition. An intermediate portion of the tubing assembly is mounted on the user's head or to the user's headgear at a position of higher elevation than the user's mouth. This allows fluid to be drawn to the elevated position and flow downward from there to the user's mouth by gravity feed. The fluid flow can then continue with little suction effort due to the gravity feed and siphoning effect of fluid from the container.

Abstract: During the portaging of a canoe by a single canoeist, discomfort may be caused to the shoulders and neck of the canoeist. The discomfort is due both to the pressure exerted by the portaging thwart on the shoulders and neck of the canoeist and to the rotation of the canoe and hence the portaging thwart relative to the shoulders and neck during the ascent or descent of inclines. Much of the discomfort is alleviated by the present invention which provides a portaging thwart capable of axial rotation relative to a canoe. In this way, relative to the canoeist, the portaging thwart remains stationary while the canoe rotates, thereby permitting the canoeist to place the portaging thwart at the optimal angle to his or her shoulders and neck, independently of the angle of the canoe. In one embodiment of the invention, the portaging thwart is mounted in bearings attached to the gunwales of the canoe at approximately the mid point thereof.
