In the Arizona desert its always a good idea to have some water on hand.
Brother, you ain't kidding! Same in the California deserts. The Mojave desert, Death Valley, etc., are
very unforgiving of ignorant people who wander around out in that harsh country.

depending on where i am going in the desert, i sometimes have ten gallons of drinking water in the truck.
my wife cleaned out the truck the other day, and switching out five or so or those military two quart flex canteens.
a gallon of water is about 7-8 pounds, if you are stuck out 20miles or so you burn through it pretty quick. sorry to say i have been
in those situations, i carry a lot of water.
the other part is much of the state in the desert is considered to have hard water, just real special on your kidneys.
living in north central arizona most of my life, we use to transport drinking water with us when visiting phoenix. no kidney stones that way.
a rule of thumb is if you are not peeing regularly in the heat, you ain't drinking enough, it should be semi clear pee, too.
