I have to second the need for constant hydration. I came back from Colorado 7 lbs lighter than when I left. It was all dehydration. I drank tons of fluids, but fluids ingested in large quantity all at once just act as a diuretic. I have resisted the camelbacks for the reasons mentioned. This may be the solution as it appears to be less bulky. Thanks, JB.

Through trial and error, I have found NOT drinking water works. Diluted sports drinks seems to help keep the fluid in the circulatory system better. I usually get Vitamin water and dilute by 50%. I also take Diamox (diuretic which also helps prevent altitude sickness, but makes beer taste BAD) in preparation and lower doses during the time there. I don't mind the small Camelbacks, as it also gives a place to put some small gear.
