Headed down to Durango in 10 days to hunt elk with my 16yr old nephew. Haven't done a backcountry hunt in ten years, so how much water do you guys go through per person per day?

The idea of supplements is a joke. Flavoring water is one thing, but to suggest the human body needs more than just plain water is ridiculous.
Not sure how humans survived before Gatorade used Michael Jordan to increase sales...
The human body needs a lot more than just plain water. Hyponatremia is not a joke.

"Hyponatremia is a condition that occurs when the level of sodium in your blood is abnormally low.
"Sodium is an electrolyte, and it helps regulate the amount of water that's in and around your cells. In hyponatremia, one or more factors — ranging from an underlying medical condition to drinking too much water during endurance sports — causes the sodium in your body to become diluted. When this happens, your body's water levels rise, and your cells begin to swell. This swelling can cause many health problems, from mild to severe."
That's from the link. Disturbing the ratio between water and sodium is the problem. I'm not saying that you need fancy schmancy products to maintain your sodium level. I prefer potato chips.
