Description
- The present application is related to and claims priority from prior provisional application Ser. No. 61/135,628 filed by Andrew C. Wagner on Jul. 22, 2008 and entitled “Auxiliary Fluid Dispenser and Foodstuff Container For Backpacks And the Like”, the contents which are incorporated herein by reference
- The present invention relates to an attachable device for providing drinking water and storing hot and cold food in an outdoor environment.
- Carrying a backpack is a convenient method to travel with gear. For many people it is the preferred way to travel into the wilderness to experience the beauty of nature. While traveling this way, it is usually desirable to carry both water and food to eat. Water is typically carried in water bottles or in a canteen. Food is often brought in the form of snack bars or stored in a container and packed in the backpack.
- However, there are certain drawbacks associated with the conventional way of traveling with water and food. One main problem is that it can be difficult to access the water, especially while one is hiking along rough terrain. In practice, the camper will usually stop what he or she is doing and then grab a bottle or water or canteen to take a sip, and then proceed with the journey. Likewise, if the snack is stored in the backpack, the camper will have to stop, take the backpack off and search the backpack until the item is found. Although some campers take energy bars along instead, they often do not satisfy hunger for very long and are not an adequate substitute for many people.
- Accordingly, it would be desirable for there to be a more convenient way to obtain drinking water when needed and to consume both cold and warm food while enjoying the outdoors.
- A primary object and feature of the present invention is to provide an attachable device for providing drinking water and storing hot and cold food.

With insulated food and drink containers separated into two compartments it is very convenient to carry a warm meal in one side and cold drinks in the other side. Moreover, because the units can be separated or used jointly, many combinations are possible.
- It is a further object and feature of the present invention for the drinking water component and the food storage component be attachable to (and separable from) one other.
- A further primary object and feature of the present invention is to provide a tube inserted in the container for transporting water from the container to a user's mouth.
