Micro Rig w/ Integral Hydration

[LRRPF52]

For my hydration pouches, I use multiple layers to insulate the bladder from thermal loss, and I like to include a SERE pouch for a survival meal. In my personal kit, I take an MRE bag and put a small meal with maybe a bonus energy bar inside, then tape it up.

The hydration bladder is a good place for this because you don't have immediate access to it when wearing the vest, so you know that meal in there is for real-world emergencies.
