Hah! I usually hike alone but on the occasion where I am with someone else that invariably happens, usually after they comment on my set up and how convenient it is.

BTW, I have seen bogus stainless steel wide mouth containers that are not vacuum bottles, usually as promotional merchandise that someone grabs without looking at the details. I think I have seen them at Dunkins. They are just an inner and outer thin SS shell with an unknown insulation stuffed between the walls or nothing at all. If looked at carefully, the seam between the inner and outer shells is not welded continuously. There still is some insulating value but considerably less than a vacuum. Caveat emptor.

Tim, what kind of Nalgene's do you use, HDPE, old-school Lexan, or Tritan? I used to use boiling water, but switched to hot tap, to reduce the chance of leaching chemicals. https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/03/tritan-certichem-eastman-bpa-free-plastic-safe/ that Tritan is no safer than Lexan.
I usually just use hot tap as well 
If I keep the extra water in a cozy inside my pack, then it doesn't even need to be hot to stay liquid until the end of the day.
