Water Intake?
How much water should I carry out of a water source? How much water should I drink per day in the desert?

Re: Water Intake?
While on the Appalachian Trail I drank too much water and lost the ability to walk due to muscle cramps. The reason I know it was over hydration, with hind site, is that I was urinating large volumes of urine five times during the night. I learned that too much water is very dangerous. I had to come home early because I thought I had a badly pulled muscle. It was electrolyte imbalance instead. Be very cautious.
