questions! : carrying water

[Melissa Starr]

Thank you for the practical water storage suggestions, and for the story.  I think the story is one to live by at all times, after all, aren't we all but pilgrims--passing through a place in time and space every moment?
Thank you, Pieter.

Please do not think lightly on consuming water...
The remarks made by my friend Robert Spenger are absolutely correct.

He will permit me to add some remarks...
* Start the day by drinking at least two glasses of water
* Take your coffee or tea at the time you're used to it.
* Do not go to elaborate things as plata...buy two 1.5 Pet bottles of Cola
or whatever: empty them and fill them with water. I do know these IS 3
litres, but better with than without. Roll 1 in your sleeping mat and cover
both sides with paper. Perfect isolation. The other bottles you but on your
right side in one of the spaces your backpack provides.
* Have a front pouch in which you have a small bottle to drink from
* Even if you're not thirsty, keep on drinking sips.
* The moment you feel thirsty you're behind schedule and with the constant
strain (more than in daily life) you lose too much moisture.
* It's nearly impossible if you really are thirsty to recuperate even if you
drink.
* So keep it flowing/running!
* Even if you're not a great in taker of liquids (in whatever form): become
one. 2 litres minimum a day
* If you're running out of water, keep filling it up: you never know what
will happen. (I paid my price!) Next!
* Never ever drink large quantities of really cold water

Have a fluid Camino!
Ultreya and good health to you all !
