Drinking tube holder
A comfortable solution - bye bye clasp!

One or two times a year I go hiking with friends.
Usually, we are out and about for approx.
one week with everything that you need to survive: "field kitchen", tent, food, etc.
Before this years' hike in May I realized at the very last moment that the clasp that holds my drinking tube was missing.
Without it, the drinking tube hangs down all the time and loses water - and water is very important when hiking.
I had only 2 minutes left before we had to go to the train.
In a matter of seconds, it became clear: In no time I ripped off two strips of standard duct tape.
I used one to attach a S-12-06-N
to the strap of the backpack.
The other one taped three small S-05-02-N52N
to the drinking tube.
I could have done it a bit more nicely (the whole thing looks rather wrinkled), but at the time I was in a hurry.
However, the construction fulfilled its mission perfectly.
I liked the construction so much that I don't even use the original tube holder anymore.
But I improved the design a little bit:
I attached the small S-05-02-N52N disc magnets
to the drinking tube with a transparent adhesive tape.
It looks a little bit more elegant this way.
Caution: People with a heart pacemaker must not carry magnets near the chest (like here on the strap of the backpack)!
