        <![CDATA[ I know we all carry water in our 2nd line gear. However, in the field hospital forum we were having a talk about running out of water and getting heat
exhaustion. Miles from the vehicle, water, etc. Because of that talk, I just added a packet of emergency water to my gear. It will be for that oh S*** moment
when you drink that last drop of water out of your canteen. You will still have a little water that will help sustain you until you can get out of the AO or to
water. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I run all water in the field through a MSR Sweetwater filter then MSR Miox unit. MIOX batteries are rechargable with solar recharger unit. Batteries last wuite
a long time. If the original water is very brackish prior to the first two steps I finalize purification (belt and suspenders kinda guy) woth boiling if the
situation dictates.

			<description><![CDATA[ A packet of water in your 1st line gear wouldn&#39;t be a bad idea, though I wonder how durable such a thing may be.  I go with way more water than I used to,
and depending on the mission bring my Katydin Hiker Pro Filter with me as well. We have plenty of water in my AO, unfortunatley it is always downstream from a
sewage treatment plant!
<br>
<br>
I like to go with at a minimum my 100oz Blackhawk Hydrastorm. This is perfect in my AO because it does not draw any attention

			<description><![CDATA[ I can get along on a whole day patrol with only one canteen or quart of water, but I think it&#39;s smarter to take two, and drink one up fairly early on, and
then go easy on the second one. In very hot weather, or when on a solar death march a gallon of water, and a gator-aid, or a ice-tea seems to be my
requirement. I drink the gatoraid, or any simular &quot;sport drink&quot; first. Of course it goes without saying that if you can replenish your canteens with
your water-filter, then do that... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ That high desert is a rough country, I did some growing up in the high desert in eastern CA almost on the border of Oregon, water sources are few and far
between there. During the summer there I could see taking as much water as you could carry if you were on patrol for more than a day. As a kid I would hike all
day through the juniper and sage and not carry that much water, but I was also a kid and immortal back then. I remember in the summer sometimes it froze at
night up there.

			<description><![CDATA[ Through back packing I learned how much water I need on a warm day going about 10 miles in with a 60 pound pack on. At the end of each day through route
planning and selection, I knew I would be at a spot to resupply. Alot of that has carried over for me in patrolling. If i were to give advice to someone
starting out, I&#39;d say load up alot, like 4 canteens at least, ruck up, and at the end of the day see how much you have left. Do that a few times and you
will start to see what your intake... ]]></description>

  Water has always been an x factor to me, I brainstorm on ways to carry enough and not have to carry a hydration system on my back (I dont care for camelback)

			<description><![CDATA[ M4Trigger, It is interesting that you say that you have put a small survival packet of water in your gear, I have done the same. My packet of water is not
really for survival though. I have mine in a chest-rig I use for quick patrols, right around two hours, you know, (when you are driving in the country and you
see that out of place man trail and you decide to come back and do a quick look see). I have been in life threatening situations and my mouth has gotten
totally dry because of it, it... ]]></description>

(from most important to least)

Air

Water
<br>
Food
<br>
Clothing/Shelter
<br>
Protection/Safety (medical care)

Psycological Needs

This is how you should prioritize your gear and your survival preps. You will only live minutes with out air, couple of days with out water, couple of weeks
without food.
<br>
We are surrounded by air and a lack of it usually isn&#39;t a problem, except in certain circumstances.
