Of course water is the obvious answer I am looking for something more than water. I am doing a week long kayak ocean fishing trip in Panama in August and am looking to stay on as good shape as I can considering I will not only be baking in the sun for hours on end but will be using a lot of energy between pedaling the kayaks and cranking in fish and lures. I figured this group has to be the most physically active group so I figured I would ask the question here

I’ve used a variety of mixes but liquid IV is what I like the best. Costco also has them on sale periodically.

Electrolyte tablets. Throw them in your Nalgene and drink. I prefer the ones with caffeine.

Firefighter friends using 'Drip Drops'...I think the Army is too.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Since you will be far from a supermarket, I'd go with the best and get one of Dr Joel Wallachs 90 essential nutrient packs. Start at least the week before your trip and your gut flora will likely have time to adapt. The bee pollen will help with energy production. The other minerals are the electrolytes. Forget store bought drinks. They have only two or three minerals and a lot of sugar.

Look into "SaltStick Caps"

I've tried many/most and these work the best. Take one every 30-45 when you're sweating. I get calf and foot cramps when I run/hike/workout when its hot and I'm sweating. since taking SaltStick, no cramps.

For rucking in North Carolina summer heat I used the Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) packets we could get from the medics. I mixed them with about twice as much water as the packet says to use.

Not sure if you can buy them in bulk like we used to get them in the Army.

I just got back from a arduous backpacking trip where the temps were approaching 90 each day (very unusual for the mountains). We had to fight miles of blowdown and probably racked up 8000'+ of climbing in 2.5 days- one of the toughest trips I've done thanks to the combination of heat and blowdown.

Anyways I drank a lot of water. But every other 16 oz Nalgene I drank, I added a Nuun tablet. Every two to three hours I downed a Salt Stick tablet. Before I went to bed I drank a Nuun Recover packet mixed with water. Amazingly, while it wasn't an overly pleasant trip- I didn't suffer too badly. Staying hydrated and keeping electrolyte levels up definitely made a huge difference.

Water.

For electrolyte replacement ( mostly potassium, sodium , and maybe magnesium), make your own, at low cost. Go to your local grocery store and buy "Morton's Light Salt.". It is something like 60% potassium and 40 % sodium. Add a small pinch to your drinking water bottle. Don't need much. If you can taste it, dilute it down.

If you want magnesium, add a SMALL SCOOCH of epsom salts ( magnesium sulfatei). If you want calcium, take a TUMS or the lowest cost antacid that is a TUMS knock off. Want flavor, and no sugar/carbs, add some sugar-free lemonade powder, something like Propel packs of powder.

Oh, that summer at Ft Leonard Wood, MO. They had those big lister bags on all the ranges. Some genius decided that the men weren't getting enough salt so they added salt to the drinking water in the bags. It would gag anyone. Many of the men were getting dehydrated because they couldn't drink the water without throwing up. It was like drinking sea water.

A long 23-ish mile trip on Thursday- lots of off-trail and lots of [bleep] trail, lots of elevation gain and warm (temps into the mid to upper 80's). Every other 16 oz bottle had a Nuun tablet. I was downing a 16 oz bottle approximately every hour, so staying at least slightly ahead of the hydration curve. It was a 12-ish hour hike, so roughly 6-7 liters total of water.

Nothing magic about Nuun, but it tastes good and provides 300 mg of sodium, 150 mg of Potassium, 25 mg of magnesium and 13 mg of calcium. It looks like it could be easily replicated for less money, but you just throw a tablet in AND it tastes good smile
