Mining, hunting, and woodcutting often require traversing long distances from the drink and food stockpiles. So I think it would be nice if miners, hunters, and woodcutters were able to bring filled waterskins and rations with them so they could drink and eat in the mines, hunting grounds, and woods.

Tangentially, maybe they could even bring bedrolls or tents or something to sleep in the mines, hunting grounds, or woods.

Someone actually mentioned this a while ago:

A dwarf should be able to have a waterskin and a bag assigned to him, and keep rations of food and water similar to a soldier. Obviously it wont increase their mood much, and 1 meal in each 3 has to be a 'proper' meal (in the dining room), but it would keep dwarves working instead of crossing half the fort to take a sip of something or other

But I thought that, with it having been a while ago, I'd bring it up.

It's not a problem to necro suggestions. Says so at the top of the page. Every suggestion thread is read apparently (at least the opening post).

Maybe they could go a step further than this.  Maybe if a job involves going a certain distance from the dining hall the dwarf in question picks up a backpack, waterskin and some rations.  When the dwarf is able to return *to* the dining hall he simply removes those items and places them back where they belong for others to use.
