Going hiking? Pack your snacks!! 🍎🍊

Making sure you are properly hydrated and fueled is so important when preparing for a long hike.

Salty snacks, sports drinks, and water is a MUST! I took a 12.8 mile hike up at Bear Mountain State Park in New York. It was full of rocks, hot/humid weather, and tough climbs. It took my family and I eight hours to complete this hike safely and we definitely were a tad short on fluids. With me, I brought some fruit, pretzels, goldfish, seaweed, pb&j sandwich, water, and Gatorade. These snacks are higher in carbohydrates, salt, and perfect for on-the-go trips since they tend not to spoil.

I did actually run out of water because we went unexpectedly longer than we were supposed to and the clementines saved me πŸ™πŸΌ It held me over to quench my thirst but boy was I still dehydrated πŸ˜… Citrus fruit can definitely come in handy during a situation like this and it also gives some energy to get to the end. However, if I were to do it all again, I recommend just packing some extra bottles of sports drinks and/or water.

Lastly, don’t worry about having to go to the bathroom from all the fluids. When your body is sweating excessively, the urge to go is much delayed πŸ‘πŸΌ Always be ready so you can conquer the day!
