HydrationProper hydration is one of the most important elements to basic survival. Our body fluids are lost daily through natural processes such as perspiration and waste elimination. Your body can loose even more water with intense activity, illness and injuries. This water needs to be replaced to maintain health. By the time you crave fluids, the body is already 2 percent dehydrated and if you are injured, de-hydration increases your chances of severe shock and may accelerate death. A hydration pack would enable you to carry your water on your back thereby freeing up your hands for other tasks.
