Okay everyone here is the information that I told you I would post in another persons post. This is the stuff that they had me start drinking at work once the tempurature started to rise. Understand I drink plenty of water so I do not worry about dehydration . The product is called SQWINCHER. A product of the Sqwincher corporation from Columbus, MS. For more info call: 1-800-654-1920. The product is a fast pack you add the water to the packet and drink it. The product claims peak perfomance. No caffeine, low sodium,non-carbonated, the packet contians .6fl oz of product that once water is added makes a 6oz. drink. The back of the product package claims to be an electrolyte replacement drink designed to rehydrate, restore and recharge the body both before and after dehydration occurs to keep you at your peak performance. Keeps working muscles working. Nutrition facts: serving per package 1. calories 50 : total fat 0 : sodium 40mg, 2% daily value : potassium 35mg, 1% daily value :Total carb 13g, 4% daily value: protien 0g. Daily value based on 2000 calorie diet.

Well thats the low down folks. I will be looking into getting some of this to add to my daily pack. this will really make that water bladder last longer throughout the day . No more toteing bulky gatorade bottels. Iam sure other products out there. This was just something that would benefit others to get the ideas out there. The most important thing, you guys take care and make sure you keep hydrated while out , make sure you guys pack plenty of fluids. Remember beer is not a good source of hydration liquid .

Rob, Way to go on the finds. Sorry to hear about losing te water thou. It is defenitly warming up quick and can get nice and warm hiking and exploring the hillsides and washes , you definitly want water with you. At work they are having me drink a product that comes in a pouch that you add 6oz of water to and drink taste better than gatorade and the pouches are small enough will not take up much room in a pack . The package claims to restore fluids and nutrients to your body . I will bring a package home tomorrow and post all the ingredients. I know for sure it has potasium and other stuff to help with dehydration. It seems to be a good product and I will be adding it to my pack Iam figuring I will only need 1 100oz water bladder for a day with this product and not have to worry about trying to pack bottles of gatorade with me. I will let you all know in a different post tomorrow.
