Thats a good point Spartan...I used to work at the Grand Canyon and every summer people would get themselves into trouble when hiking. People think they have to drink tons of water (which is true) but they are only getting half of it right. Everyone is so surprised to hear that one of the most important thing to bring with you on your hike is some sort of salty snacks (trailmix etc...). It's true...you can create an imbalance in your body. People can end up overhydrating and having seizures!

I dont want to underemphasize the importance of hydration, but your right, you have to balance it out. God does that mean I have to eat those friggin pretzels all the time now?
