#Gatorade citrus swish full
I used to organize cross country orienteering contests, so would often spend all day putzing about setting controls for meets that were far enough in the future that my tracks would vanish.Īnyway, I would take 2 liter pop bottle full of hot coffee with lots of milk and sugar. Most days the pop bottle was empty in our pack.) We use a 2 liter pop bottle per person in addition to our 500 ml bottle. (Addendum: Last trip included a ridge walk. If you were in serious sweat country, I'd give consideration to a drink with electrolytes. Since in my hiking country stream crossings are rarely more than an hour apart, water is convenient.
Salted nuts are part of my lunch and there is a salt shaker with supper. More pure water, your system will work better. That is when I start on soup packs and soft food. My body gets so tired that even digestion becomes hard. Some times, when I'm on the go in a really long/intense trip, I feel that after half way, it gets hard even to eat. If you are doing that most of people wouldn't, Water will be just fine. Teas and some juice powders have diuretic effect and you will get more dehydrated, which in this case I would prefer the electrolytes drinks. If you are for something a bit more intense, you need to take in consideration dehydration. In a camping trip, where exercise is not the focus, all those already said, should be fine.
For sure those electrolytes are the best options but they are not cheap. There are lots of things you can use to add some taste and make it easy to drink but there are some considerations about that as well. For the price of a Lucozade sachet, I could make 40-50 litres of homemade electrolyte. You can make exactly the same chemical solution at home with a pinch of salt and the juice of a citrus fruit - which is exactly what we used to make soldiers sip when suffering from heat exhaustion. One little capsule should last for a week easily.Įlectrolyte water however is really just a fancy name for some carbs (sugar) with a dash of salt. It is very flavoursome without being overpowering. If you have not seen them then you can read about the growth in the super-concentrate market.Īs a frequent Coca-Cola and Pepsi drinker I am a bit of a sugar addict and I can attest to the hyper-sweetness of even a 1/2 second squirt of Squash'd.
However, I do flavour my water on a day-to-day basis for the gym etc using super-concentrate micro capsules such as Squash'd The contents of the canteen/flask might be required for a non-drinking purpose such as: As a former soldier (and Medic), I personally don't flavour my water during the outdoors.
