Hydration Hacks for Hikers and Campers
Why Hydration is Crucial Outdoors
Staying hydrated on the trail isn't just about comfort—it's about survival. Dehydration can sneak up on you, especially when you're active in dry, hot, or high-altitude environments. Whether you're planning a long hike or a weekend camping trip, smart hydration strategies can make a big difference.
Top Hydration Tips
- Drink Before You're Thirsty: Thirst is a late sign of dehydration—sip regularly throughout the day.
- Use Marked Bottles: Bottles with volume indicators help track your intake.
- Electrolyte Packs: Add rehydration salts or powders to boost water absorption.
- Plan Water Stops: Research refill points before your journey and carry purification tablets just in case.
