Dehydration contributes very much to hypothermia, so stay well hydrated.

I've done many trips like this in the past and (so far) have never spent the night out on the trail. So I'm looking to pack useful items in case my luck runs out. ninety miles a day is a conservative distance and areas of shelters are about twenty to thirty miles apart. Good note on staying hydrated to help avoid hypothermia. Thanks.
