So water is a thing out here, for real. You need it, you want, you plan where to find it, but you don’t want to carry it. (I don’t)
I was concerned about water before I left, so I carried a bunch, well 4 liters, which is a lot for me. I was really not wanting to get into the whole filtering water thing right away either. It’s a process with my mini Sawyer water filter.
So the other morning, I hiked down to the water source, a stream. I decided to pour water from my bottle into the Camelback without removing it from my backpack, bad idea. Before I could stop it water was pouring into my pack! Doah! I took off my socks and shoes to quickly cross the stream then spread everything out to dry. By the time I filtered water and got my shoes back on things were more or less dry. Lesson learned.
The struggle is real with the weather being so hot lately. Stay safe and hydrate on!
Hang in there Girl! So much stuff I didn’t even consider. If I have to carry a gallon of milk without a shopping cart I’m whining like a brat, ……4 liters!!!!! You are such a BOSS!!!! Every lesson learned makes the remaining miles go smoother. You got this!! Luv’ Ya! Nita
