During a midday halt, if the sun is shining it is possible to secure an ample supply of water by melting on a
tent section. The tent section or other waterproof cloth is spread out slightly concave or dish-shaped, draining on one side into a cup or pot. Snow is spread evenly and thinly over the entire surface by sprinkling, in much the same manner as sowing seeds. The heat of the sun is absorbed by the dark tent fabric and melts the snow. The process can be hastened if the tent section is laid on insulating material, such as grass, twigs or clothing. If insulated in this manner, and out of the wind, water can be secured even though the air temperature is as much as ten degrees below freezing. A flat rock with a hollow on the top will serve as a substitute for the waterproof cloth, and cannot harm the water.
When snow is falling and a cold wind blowing, skiers crave hot drinks, not cold water. An ordinary canteen serves as an excellent thermos bottle if filled with hot coffee, tea, or other drink at breakfast, heated in the canteen until it actually boils and then stuffed quickly into the center of a rolled sleeping bag. The bag should, of course, be placed near the top of the rucksack so that the canteen can be readily reached.
On cold days the possibility of preparing hot drinks during short rests should not be overlooked. The ski stove will heat a quart of water to the boiling point in less than ten minutes. Tea and sugar should be kept in a handy part of the rucksack in anticipation of such stops.
If the day has been warm and a hot drink is prepared for a "pep up" for crossing the last high ridge to camp, salty bouillon is better than tea, since it replaces the salt lost by perspiration. The mountaineering rule is "A salt drink when you are tired in hot weather, a sweet drink when you are tired and cold."
It is well to "tank up" after meals. An extra cup of a hot drink for breakfast, a good swig or two out of a pot
of water prepared while camp is being broken, and thirst will be postponed till noon. At night one's thirst will dictate that tea and more tea, or just plain water, is needed. It is better to satisfy that thirst than to deny it. There is actual danger in the practice of denying oneself —either as Spartan or Puritan—adequate water. Man can no more exist on insufficient water than on insufficient oxygen.
