Careful with Gatorade, it has SOOOO much SALT!! G2 has less salt. I've had great luck with Hammer products. Stay hydrated and fueled.
Great advice on electrolytes and acclimating yourself gradually.

Get your system/input dialed in long before your trip......up on the mountain side is NOT the place to experiment, try this, try that.....which can lead to a near disaster.

Drink water. But you will need to replace electrolytes, as stated above. Gatorade and other sports drink have lots of salt. Salt is good for you to rehydrate your cells. But, do it slowly. I recommend mixing half water and half sports drink together. Drink some water every twenty minutes weather you feel thirsty or not. If you feel thirsty, you are likely already a little dehydrated. Look for pale yellow urine. I think it’s pale yellow that you want. I’ll have to consult Dr. Google.

Hydrogen dioxyde. Just don't overdose with it.

Be careful, I’ve heard everyone who tries it, eventually dies. They don’t know it it is the cause though. But, it might be.

Around the parts, everyone I know is hooked on the stuff in one form or another. They just can't seem to live without it anymore.

Come in two hours ago from a fence repair job, temp in the 90s no shade for a few miles. Shade of my natural cooled house, Bud lite Chilata with ice sprinkled with Memphis style barbecue seasoning. I think it saved my life.

Like a Margarita !

Yup, I think that's the one they use, advertise

Lots of folks here make it into hard rocks and mix with drinks. Should be banned! Downfall of society!

People need to have something to wash down there prescription opiates with.

Milk is supposed to be excellent re-hydration. It has an excellent blend of carbohyrdates, proteins, sugars, salts, and vitamins/minerals. For a little extra energy boost, make it chocolate milk.

I don't think I'd want to carry milk around on an elk hunt, though.

Salt your food heavily with Pink Himalayan salt, if you are sweating profusely throughout the day I would take 1/4 tsp of Pink Himalayan salt on top of each meal/ every few hours. Here is a drink to try, I use it with good results.

20-24oz water
1/2 squeezed lemon
1/8-1/4 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt
Sweeten with stevia or honey

Salt has received a bad rap it doesn't deserve. The issues with high sodium are with the highly processed/fried junk food that is high in sodium, not the sodium itself. Eat a clean diet with a large amount of sodium, no problem.

Get there early .Let your body adjust to the location. + Hydration.

Wife buys us Powerade Zero. The blue one is pretty good. 0 sugar.

This stuff does miracles for someone who is on the verge of being dehydrated. In fact, a bar near me has it on tap. lol

ol'dad

best stuff for rehydration IMO..

Water...good old plain water.
I run three marathons and log 1,200 running miles a year sir. I have one next weekend at Nebraska State Fair and another in October I am training for. That will be my 17th! I drink a lot of water all day long but when races approach I start "hydrating" a good two days ahead of them. The old addage drink until you pee clear...that's what you aim for. Then don't stop there, keep the water drinking right up that morning of your first day of adventure.
You don't need a lot of extra stuff in Gatorade and other sport drinks. Just eat well too. All the fruits and veggies you want, and some good whole grains. Use the Mayo medical clinic food pyramid, it works.
In fact if you do drink one of those well marketed sports drinks, you don't even really need to drink the whole bottle either.
Don't forget to drink water throughout your trip too. You need to maintain hydration as you go. During a race I stop at almost every water station. You lose a lot every three miles or so. Put it back in and keep going!
Have fun! PM me if you want.
