I Was Wrong About Electrolytes & Hydration For Hiking
In this video podcast, I sit down with Jeff and Jenny, the founders of Tailwind Nutrition. We talk a lot about hydration and the use of electrolytes to provide better hydration in the backcountry. I thought I understood how consuming electrolytes works in the hydration process, but quickly learned how much I didn't understand.

    Ah! This was super interesting to watch. I really like the point made that you should really consider your own needs and do what feels good for you. I have IBS so I stay away from artificial sweeteners like Stevia (diarrhea during a long distance run or backpacking trip- no thank you) plus I do endurance activities so I'm always looking for products that have carbs in addition to electrolytes (for energy). But for some people who struggle with serum glucose management (like diabetes), products like LMNT may be the best option for them. I think the market is big enough for all different types of products. From what I learned here, Tailwind's products seem to fit my personal needs exactly! I placed an order to sample all their lines. Always cool to learn about different options out there! Thanks for sharing!

    The benefits of added glucose for hydration (via sodium/glucose cotransport) have been extensively practised since the 1970ies by UNICEF and WHO to help hydrate when suffering from life threatening diarrhoea (cholera). The WHO-ORS (WHO-Oral Rehydration Solution) recipe has been published and is well known. In case of emergency because of diarrhoea or serious dehydration i'd consider using this type of short-cut hydration, but otherwise i use my own mix similar to WHO-ORS but without sugar but with added magnesium. Not just concerning hydration - I generally try to avoid sugar for hikes or endurance sports, in my experience sugar doesn't prevent me from "bonking" but causes bonking within two hours of reception unless continuing to use even more sugar to compensate for the sugar low that inevitably follows the sugar high. I find it silly to see grown-ups suck on "gel packs" that consist mostly of sugar while running or cycling.

    • @chris-mich
      @chris-mich 2 дні тому

      I hadn't been aware of fructose providing benefits to rehydration and was sceptical when i heard about it in the video, so was curious and googled a bit and just saw on PubMed (Fordtran 1975) that unlike glucose it actually helps with magnesium reception.

    I bought this pot several weeks ago and have three stoves that fit it. The Windmaster Triflex, the Fire Maple Polaris Regulator and the Fire Maple Greentree which is non-regulated but only costs $20. All of these stoves have minimal burner to pot distance and work well with the Petrel pot. I’ve heard that the Fire Maple Hornet sucks with this pot due to excessive burner to pot distance.

    Great to see someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. Every influencer talks about LMNT and it’s not great…maybe I should say…not great for me. All the sugar nazi’s scream about sugar free and how it’s better for you. I have tried multiple electrolytes and I hike year around in Arizona and I can tell you Liquid IV works best for my body. It’s a noticeable difference. You can get them on sale at Costco and Sam’s often. Big bag of 30 for around $20. I know every Tom, Dick and Harry is sponsored by LMNT but it’s expensive and has SO much salt and it leaves the sugar out so it doesn’t end up doing what it’s supposed to do. The sugar is part of the equation. I’ll check out Tailwinds. Great interview!

    • @wolfeadventures

      Certainly can do that. The proper ratios of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium do help in speeding up replenishing electrolytes. One could make their own mix at home-many good recipes online. But if you are not doing considerable output trips this may not be applicable.

I mean, he mentions here that it folds up to a "small size" so that it fits in your car well...if you're car camping, ESPECIALLY BY YOURSELF, the amount of space a single chair takes up inside your car is basically a nonissue. Pod Rockers are infinitely more comfortable and only cost $50-70. Don't get this thing, just get a full-size camping chair.

    Glad to see they're offering this pot separately now! I bought it quite awhile ago as a kit with that Hornet stove, but knew I wasn't going to care for the stove much. I modified the base just by nicking the inside corners of the slots with a Dremel so that my MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe case slide in better. I've used it on a ton of trips now. This things is an absolute beast! The boil times are absurdly good. I'm not sure there's a better/faster combo out there than this pot with an MSR PRD or the Soto Windmaster. It even beats an MSR Reactor! I went on a backpacking trip with 4 people and would feel comfortable with this being the only stove setup. It boils so dang fast that I can rapid fire prep 1.5-2 cups of water quicker than most larger setups could do a larger batch. It's also not overkill for solo adventures. Love how wind proof it is too, especially with the slots allowing the burner to sit further up in the heat exchanger area. If you're thinking about trying this little pot, you definitely should! Easily worth the slight weight increase over a Toaks 750ml pot.
