What would one consume to replenish electrolytes for the human body besides sports drinks?

Posted on March 27, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I’ve read that sodium and potassium are examples of electrolytes. Recalling my high-school and college chemistry I can see why sodium would be an electrolyte since it helps conduct an electric current, but I never heard that about potassium. So besides eating bananas and salty foods I was wondering what other “natural” sources of food and/or liquid provides the body with what would be considered electrolytes. (Yes, I’m prepping for a long distance event, incase you were wondering.
PLEASE NOTE, I’m looking for “natural” (vs. man-made) foods and/or liquids.

hiking tips ?

Posted on January 14, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

hey i am 15,live in england and would love to get into some long distance hiking and mountain climbing. I love the outdoors, camping, being away from the materialistic soceity we live in, but in truth i have never done a really big hike before, bascally i was wondering what tips people can give me in terms of where to start(preferably in Europe near or in England) and what survival skills are reqired to become pretty prepared in future. Don’t get me wrong i am not totally new to this, i have done overnight hiking and camping before and i am fit, but i mean for a few weekS. Finally i really want to do the pacific crest trail, maybe when i am 18, after i finish school, i know i seem naive but how much experience would i need and how hard would it b. thanks a lot
