I didn't write it, but I thought it was a decent read

I've always been a fan of half sports drink to one water bottle ratio. I would mix the sports drink and water preferably before a fire, but predicting on when I was going to go on a veg fire was well impossible. On my line gear I carried 2 nalgene bottle's along with a 3L camelbak. One nalgene bottle I would have full of water (to supplement my camelbak) and the other is what I would mix my water and sports dink in. Did that for the whole fire season and never had a problem. But then again I kept adequately hydrated while on shift before any fires.
