99% of the time it is because of a lack of water & electrolytes. I drink
about 1 gal over 10 hours of hiking. If you wait until you are thirsty to
start drinking it is TOO LATE. I stop and drink every half hour. I also use
GU2O, a electrolyte replacement. I put it in small two scoop packets( one
pack per quart of H2O) and use three per day. At 100 calories per packet it
also adds to daily calororic intake.
