A person who is 105 pounds and exercises for 90 minutes every day, is not pregnant or breastfeeding, does not live at a high altitude or in a dry climate, drinks 0 alcoholic drinks, and is not sick with fever or diarrhea should have:
61.5 ounces of water today, or 1.8 liters.
And, “If you eat a healthy diet, about 20 percent of your water may come from the foods you eat. If you eat a healthy diet you can drink 49.2 ounces of water today, or 1.5 liters.”
So that is what I will aim for, 50-60 ounces of water per day, or 3 bottlefuls.

I will be backpacking alone to the coast (either 224 miles or 153 miles depending on my starting point). Because there will be no hostels and I don’t want to stay in hotels, I will be camping leave-no-traces style wherever I can. I’m studying backpacker.com and crazyguyonabike.com, as well as some survival guides I have. I start getting my gear together in a few weeks. And a couple of acquaintances are going to teach me basic self-defense.
I have wanted to do this my entire life, so much that this trips takes on nearly spiritual proportions. I cannot articulate what it means to me. Here I go!
