Unless it is freshly-melted snow, most water tastes gross to me - but I don't want to risk dehydration on trail. I also do not want to lose too many salts and minerals by drinking water only and suffer from Hyponatremia. So here I go over some yummy electrolyte drink mixes: LMNT, Liquid I.V., and Venture Pal (Get 15% off below!).
