[pct-l] Freeze Dried Foods (John Coyle)

[CHUCK CHELIN]

Good afternoon, John,



You might consider telling your doctor that you plan to hike strenuously 12
hours a day for an extended period of time, while drinking 8-10 liters of
water a day then show him/her a photo of your clothes stiff and white with
dry, crusted salt.  It is likely the probability of hypotonic
dehydration outweighs
the risk of eventual hypertension.


Enjoy your planning,

Steel-Eye
