[pct-l] severe dehydration danger on the trail

[gary_schenk at verizon.net]

 Seriously, people can't make it past Hauser Creek without needing a rescue?

Are all these water caches and trail angels giving people a false sense of security? Are thrus worrying too much about how they're going to charge their gadgets and less about basic survival on the trail?

What's going on out there?
