Other symptoms of dehydration one may feel on the trail is lack of concentration and lethargic behavior. Notice your hiking mate slowing down and stopping. Yes, the pack does get heavy and your friend may just be complaining about all the unnecessary food that he brought with him.

2. Dark Urine and dry skin. At this point of dehydration it is important to stop your hike. At about 5-10% fluid loss your body is can visible show it is dehydrated. Try pinching the tips of your fingers and watch how fast the skin bounces back to place. This should happen very rapidly, the slower this happens the more dehydrated you are. We suggest putting an electrolyte or other hydrating solutions in The Coldest Water Bottle at this point of dehydration if the solutions are available. If they are not, keep drinking water but do not drink too much water too rapidly. First, it is important to know where your destination is and how much water you have left to get you there. Second, your body may not accept it. It is important to keep an eye on your urine when you become this dehydrated. The darker the color is, and the fewer times you go to use the restroom, the more dehydrated you are and the closer to a very dangerous situation you have become closer to on a hiking trail.
3. At 10% fluid loss you have entered severe dehydration. At this point drinking fluid from The Coldest Water Bottle may become dangerous. If you are on a hike at this point you should be searching for help. Depending on how far out you are it may not be safe to try to continue…any further dehydration will need either an IV drip or eulogy. You should be calling for either search and rescue or a emergency medical treatment to respond with the right medical solutions to help bring yourself or hiking partner back to a safe level of hydration.
