Dehydration in the wild (aka why drinking your urine isn't really that good of an idea)

Dehydration is a huge problem around the world with access to clean drinking water being a global issue. However it's not always about just water, this week we learn why hydration is important but so are electrolytes. You shouldn't indulge in one without the other becasue most cases of suspected dehydration in austere environments is actually from hyponatremia (lack of sodium) from overhydration. That doesn't mean you shouldn't drink, you should just drink smarter not harder.
