How to Stay Hydrated When Everything is Frozen
On the night of the Mount Everest summit push, your biggest enemy isn't the cold—it's dehydration. When water freezes in seconds, staying hydrated requires specific Mount Everest expedition hacks.
Water freezes from the top down. By keeping your Nalgene bottles upside down in your pack, the ice forms at the bottom, leaving the cap clear so you can drink while Everest trekking toward the summit.
The only reliable way to keep a small bottle liquid is to keep it against your skin. Mount Everest expedition down suits have giant inner pockets specifically for water and batteries.
Pure water freezes faster than water with minerals. Adding high-strength electrolytes prevents freezing and ensures you are getting the salts needed for the final Mount Everest summit push.
If you stop drinking, you stop moving. Master these hydration hacks to ensure your Mount Everest expedition doesn't end in a dry-out.
