Best Trail Tool Ever?

My new best friend.

The trails by my house are as dry as a bone and it’s only March. We’ve probably seen the last significant rains for the year here in California, and give it a couple of months and it’ll be 105°+ out here. With no water source close to the jumps I decided to take a trip down to Home Depot and buy a backpack sprayer to help give the lips a chance of surviving. People normally use these for spraying weeds or insects, but I thought it would be perfect for the jumps. It holds four gallons of water?just enough to wet every lip at the place.

Anyone who has trails should seriously consider getting one, as well as having every one of their crew get one too. I know a garden watering can only costs a couple of bucks, but there’s no good way to transport water in it without it spilling all over the place (and they hold a couple gallons less water). With this I can fill it up at my house and ride to the trails with it on my back or put it in the back of my truck and drive to the jumps without spilling a drop. At $86.17 it’s expensive, but totally worth it and a smart investment. I now consider it one of the most important trail tools you could have.

The handle on the side pumps air into the tank to give it pressure to spray. It comes with a coupe of different tips for the nozzle. The flat spray one seems to work best for quick and even coverage.
