[pct-l] RE: What do use to carry your 2 gallons per day of water

[judson at jeffnet.org (Judson Brown)]

I just drink a ----load of water. I'm a big guy, and I overheat easily. I
also drink an extra liter wherever I filter, before I start hiking again.
Not only does this force me to hydrate (I've been severely dehydrated, and
it ain't pretty), but it also forces me to mitigate my pace, allowing me to
last longer into the day and make more miles.

There seems to be a considerable difference in water usage. My MPQ was
closer to 10. I didn't really know how much to use for Walker Pass, so I
figured out it out as I went. Due note, that this does not include water you
would have for breakfast or Dinner. I figrued that on a cool day and 1000
feet per 10 miles, I used 1 quart per 10 miles. 1 Litter per 4 miles seems
high doesn't it? Or was it hot?

Thanks for all the informative replies. Judson, I like the miles per
liter concept, but curious why you would drink less water in hot
conditions - 4 mpl, vs 3 mpl normally?
