Hydration & Cooling Station 💧
We’ve built something powerful — a mobile outreach station that brings shade, water, and cooling relief to Colorado’s hottest outdoor spaces. Trailheads, festivals, and pop-ups… we’re coming for the heat 😎.
Here’s what’s onboard:
🛠️ CORE SETUP
• 10×10 white canopy
• 220 lb blue water-filled canopy weights
• Hanging fans for continuous airflow
• Adjustable lighting system w/ Edison-style outdoor bulbs
• 3 folding tables, chairs, signage, and event essentials
💧 WATER & COOLING SUPPLIES
• 6 × 5-gallon heavy-duty black water buckets
• 6 × 24-gallon water-resistant bins (ice + cold storage)
• 2 × 17-gallon flexible tubs (extra ice/water)
• Cooling towels, bottled water
• Portable misting system
↳ Rechargeable pump, 20L bucket, 26-ft hose, 6 nozzles, canopy clips
🔋 POWERED BY:
• Anker SOLIX C1000 💪 (our heavy lifter)
• Goal Zero Yeti 500X
• Goal Zero Yeti 200
• Nomad 50 solar panel (backup input when the sun’s out!)
💧 This is part of something bigger…
We’re working hard to expand access to hydration, outdoor comfort, and inclusive trail experiences across Colorado:
• Project Water Drop💧 – bottled water delivery to those in need
• Wednesday Water Drop💧 – weekly water donation drop + cooling outreach
• Project-Refill💧 – filters, reusable bottles, and hydration education
• Wheels in the Wild ♿ – opening trails with all-terrain wheelchairs
📍 Event Ready. Trailhead Tested. Emergency Capable.
This mobile hydration station is ready to roll out to where it’s needed most.
