I see right NOW one water bottle isn't going to cut it this turkey season with these trumpets. I might need a 5 gallon water keg, creek or spring and a case of gum...I can see myself NOW buying several cases of bottled water and placing them all over the farm ... :TooFunny:
Why?

Just for keeping my mouth moist and i drink lots of water anyway ... I'm not as young as some of you guys ... LOL..
Yeah Davis, not everybody's as full of spit as your dentist says you are :TooFunny:

I may have opened a can of worms with my question earlier this week. I have paid more attention after asking about this and have noticed that my playing is not perfect either when I first get up in the morning. I tried to play immediately after getting up yesterday and while I could do it, it left a lot to be desired compared to what I usually experience.
So, I called my doctor this morning, and he said to drink more donkey urine.
I already added dromedary bag & bite valve to my vest & bought a big stash of butterscotch, peppermints & strawberry hard candies.
Might even add a little bottle of hot sauce where my hooter goes.
Donkey urine, lol. "GULP"!!!
Drinking lots of water here in the winter is really important. It gets so dry it sucks the moisture out of everything including your skin and lips. I have found the chapstick helps as well.

Hey, it's filtered twice he said.
:TooFunny: :TooFunny:
I've heard stories of old timer's relieving themselves in a yelper so it would play better. I'm not even going to ask what a hooter is. I'm striking hot sauce off the menu.
Well, I see this took a turn for the worse, lol!!!
TAL, please don't pee in that Jordan :o
:TooFunny: Only synthetics in my most humble opinion.
You guys are always hijacking my post ... LOL...
Apologies, crow made me do it. :angel2: EZ gets a pass, I got to stay on his good side.

How do you think the old-times got that rasp out of their yelpers? Gives those clucks more pop!!! Also, an empty bladder allows you to use that diaphragm to draw air smoother.......
Besides water I carry coconut water, it has electrolytes like gator aid but without all the sugar.
I'd like to find a little filtration bottle to carry, that would be a lot lighter than packing around a bunch of water.
hot sauce? I don't even carry La. hot sauce sardines when I hunt

I have thought about using chapstick before running a trumpet. I actually did it once and I felt like it helped.

I don't have it on while playing. I use it throughout the winter to keep my lips from getting chapped so I can maintain a good seal. I don't have wet lips when I play, I just can't have dry skin

I keep at least 1 gallon of purified water in each blind and 3 in the truck during turkey season, one in the truck is to drink and the others are taken to the blinds as needed. I also carry a can of spearmint Altoids dumped into one of the satchels that a call comes in so that it won't make noise in my backpack.

Greg, I think I'm confused. I know if my lips get chapped in the winter I struggle with a seal. So drinking water and wearing chapstick helps keep my lips normal. What do you use water for?

Nothing other than keeping my mouth wet ... I drink a lot of water ... But i do use the Carmex for my lips .. I like it better than chapstick and it doesn't melt like chapstick ... Get you one of those tubes of Carmex ... i carry them in all my hunting packs and turkey Satchel ... it also works great for a squeaky spring on a box call...
