You know how important
water is. We know how important water is. Wherever we travel
we make sure you have access to pure drinking water. When
you are traveling, especially flying, keep your water bottle
handy and DRINK. The cabin air on planes is very dry and dehydration
contributes to the discomforts of jet lag.
When you're hiking it is important
to stay hydrated. Muscle function declines as you become dehydrated.
Worse than having to pee while you're on the trail is returning
to the hotel with a pounding headache caused by dehydration.
You're also more susceptible to the cold and illnesses when
you become dehydrated. Coffees, sodas and fruit juices are
of some help but generally they contain too much sugar and
caffeine, both of which contribute to dehydration. Match your
soda and coffee consumption with water if you drink them.
Carry your water in a bottle
that won't leak if tipped on its side or turned upside down.
Bike bottles and the exercise bottles with the pull out nipples
or straws in them LEAK. The plastic water bottles that you
buy designer water in are ok, though they were not designed to be reused. You can also buy heavy duty
water bottles from a camping supply store. The wide mouth
Nalgene bottles are practically indestructible. Carry a quart
size bottle (at least!).
