I don't remember where I picked up this gem but I have been using it for more than year now and it seems to work really well.
After I use my camelback (or other hydration bladder) I clean it out and throw in a couple plastic practice golf balls. They effectively spread the plastic apart and allow it to dry properly. I picked up the golf balls from the dollar store and happened to have them before I saw the tip.

Don't wait until you retire to go hunting and fishing. Don't even wait for your annual vacation. Go at every opportunity. Things that appear urgent at the moment may, in the long run, turn out to be far less so. -Ted Trueblood

That's a great idea! I used to rig these things up with all sorts of crazy stuff - sticks, cutlery, whatever I could lay my hands on to keep it open for some airflow.
I'll try this sometime although I use good old NATO 58 pattern water bottles more than camelbak etc these days.
