desert birding in summer

[Carl Clifford <>]

The best way to judge your hydration level, is not the frequency of  
urination, but the colour. The darker the urine, the more you are  
dehydrated and the more imperative to rehydrate.
There is a urine colour chart at http://www.urinecolors.com/dehydration.php

This chart is similar to that used by emergency services, such as fire  
services and SES.
Electrolyte replacement is also important. One or two drinks of elec.  
replacement drinks such as Staminade are useful, though too much can  
be as harmful, as it can overload the kidneys. Going easy on drinks  
containing caffeine is a good idea as well, as they increase urination.
Cheers,

Carl Clifford
