YOUR SAFETY

Hydration: A general guideline is to aim for around 500 mL to 1 L of water per hour of moderate activity.

Consider the following factors when determining your hydration needs during a bushwalk:

• Hot and dry conditions may increase your water requirements.
• A challenging uphill bushwalk will likely require more water than a leisurely walk on flat terrain.
• Personal factors such as age, weight, and fitness level can influence your hydration needs.

To stay hydrated during a bushwalk, follow these tips:

• Drink water before starting the bushwalk to ensure you begin in a well-hydrated state.
• Take small, regular sips of water throughout the bushwalk rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.
• Make sure your water bottle/s can be easily accessed during the walk.
• For longer bushwalks or in hot conditions, consider including electrolyte-rich beverages or snacks to replenish lost minerals.

Note: These are general guidelines, and individual needs can vary. It's essential to pay attention to your body's signals and adjust your water intake accordingly. If you're unsure about your specific hydration needs, consult with a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
