When you hike, how much water do you bring with you? Do you have a formula like X amount of water per hour/mile, or do you just bring a set amount, like a quart or a liter?
I got such a kick out this when I read it, because you can't drink enough if don't bring enough! ROFLIt's not how much you bring that matters, it's how much you drink.
Same here Sarge. Thats why I chucked the camelbak and went back to the bottle so I can monitor my intake. Get dehydrated in the Rockies and it can be a long, cold night.I have a bad habit of not drinking enough water. I know better, but just don't seem to do it. I've been out for 10 or 12 hours hiking in the summer months and maybe polish off 2 quarts. I'm not talking 90º heat, but pleasant days when hiking is comfortable. It doesn't seem to bother me. Once I get home I'll kick back and drink a few glasses, but that's about it. The wife is always getting on me about it.
I cannot agree more on this. Make sure you know where and how to get water. Know and have the ways of making it drinkable. And carry your own water.There are always ways to find water. Never go anywhere without it. If you lose your supply, find ways to get it. Overcome those around you and procure your needs.
Overcome and adapt. Overcome and adapt. Overcome and adapt. Oops, I'm sorry! Did I become fixated on a singular path?
Sarge, am I wrong here?
Funny thing is I carry two 2 liter bottles in my pack and also have the Camelbak. Since I got the Camelbak I tend to drink it a little more but still not near as much as I should.Same here Sarge.
