[pct-l] Water Tricks

[jerrygoller at backpackgeartest.org (Jerry Goller)]

 I carry gum. Some of my meds also give me dry mouth and, as you know, I'm
diabetic as well. 

I'm to the point now that I pretty much have to carry gum to hike.

Does anyone have any techniques they use when low on water to make things a
little more comfortable?  I have heard of Indians putting a pebble in their
mouth.

carrier.  Okay, so you already knew that.  Sorry.
