Whether she’s trekking up a mountain or navigating through dense woods, her REI pack ensures she’s hydrated and ready for the next challenge.

Merritt’s Hydration Revelation: Drip Drop

ROLE: CHIEF REVENUE OFFICER

Merritt, always the prepared traveler, has three adventure essentials that keep him going: Drip Drop Lemon Lime, Drip Drop Watermelon, and Drip Drop Fruit Punch. With these in tow, he’s always refreshed and raring to go.

For many, staying hydrated during adventures is not just about quenching thirst; it’s about maintaining energy, optimizing performance, and ensuring a safe journey. Merritt, a member of the GH team, has found the perfect hydration partner in Drip Drop. While some might opt for traditional water or sports drinks, Merritt swears by the Drip Drop range, making it an integral part of his adventure essentials.

Why Drip Drop?

With three flavors at the top of his list: Drip Drop Lemon Lime, Drip Drop Watermelon, and Drip Drop Fruit Punch., It’s clear that variety is key for Merritt. These aren’t just refreshments; they offer a balance of electrolytes, ensuring that Merritt remains both hydrated and replenished during his excursions. The precise ratio of ingredients in Drip Drop aids in faster hydration compared to water alone, making it a superior choice for intense activities.

At Gravity Haus, we hope you find these adventure essentials entries engaging and fitting to the essence of each individual’s travel style. From the rugged terrains of mountain hikes to the serene landscapes of countryside trails, every adventurer has their secret sauce – that one essential they won’t leave home without. Whether it’s Mel’s booties for post-hike relaxation or Merritt’s flavored hydration companions from Drip Drop, it’s evident that the right gear can elevate an adventure from good to unforgettable. 

As we’ve journeyed through the favorites of our GH teammates, one thing stands out: Adventure, at its core, is deeply personal, and so are the essentials that accompany it. What’s your adventure essential?
