Cooper Wright,
I know you are a big proponent on "Camel Up" and drinking lots of water. You
might want to think it over to mention this in your advisors guide.
I know several people that came pretty close to ODing on water this past
summer at Philmont. They took the PhilAdmin advise to drink up to 2 gallons
per day as a challenge and tried their best to "drink three gallons". They
also mentioned your advisors guide recommendation.
