[pct-l] #41 - Another Super Secret of Backpacking



#41 - Timing Your Hydration: One of the biggest challenges we have on the 
trail is dehydrating.  This is extremely important, but we too often lose track 
drinking on a steady and regular basis.  As you know, once you sense that you 
are thirsty, it is too late.  You are already dehydrated.  We need a little 
help in this critical area.  I am going to start carrying a very light timer to 
beep every 20 or 30 minutes to remind me that I should drink.  Currently I am 
looking at a timer at www.invisibleclock.com/?source=overture.

Of course you can set your watch to do this if it has the right functions.  
Also, a timer on a pedometer would be clever too.
