        On hot summer days paddling or hiking I carry a lot of water, and
very definitely dry Gatorade I can add to the bottles.  While paddling,
especially, I will often get leg cramps toward the end of the day.  The
Gatorade helps immensely.  I've also taken to carrying a PUR Filter with me
to replenish my water bottles.
