[QUOTE="condor22, post: 593334, member: 1932"] Agree with Davent re Humidity, I had to do a 3 hour route march in Malaysia (really bloody humid) full pack and rifle. We carried 2 x 1 pint water bottles and told to drink them over 20 minutes. Then stop only long enough to fill them at a truck carrying water for us, then off again for another 20 minutes. So we drank at least 18 pints around 8 litres. Clothing could not have got wetter standing under a shower, which adds to the weight. From memory, I think I drank about 4 more pints in the period after the march before I had enough fluids to "water a tree". I also carry a straw, you never know.... :) PS I will add we also took salt tabs. [/QUOTE]
