Whisp said:It's not just water you need, you also need all the electrolytes that you lose when you perspire, the main one being magnesium. You have to drink things like Gatorade, Staminade or Powerade and on top of that if need be multi vita and mineral tablets. Loss of magnesium can lead to heart attack and as experienced by Goldchaser severe cramps.
When the temps are as high as what they are now you need at least four litres per day, one of the worst mistakes you can make is to take many small sips over time. Your body needs irrigating and to facilitate that chug as much fluid as you can to ensure your organs are hydrated.

Carry a small container of the dry powder and mix it as required, I always mix less powder than indicated on the destructions that way I can drink more over a longer period. I cannot overstate the dangers of electrolyte loss and along with that loss of fluids.

There also should be penalties for gooses who spark a search from thier own stupidity or unpreparedness, but then the dilemma is people not setting off thier PLB for fear of a penalty.
