They were hiking in the heat of the day, and it was very hot. Some of the other hikers said conditions felt like an oven. The hikers also were not allowed to carry water with them. They could only drink when they found water, but not fill water bottles or canteens.
“They could only drink when they found water, but not fill water bottles or canteens.”
If this is true, whoever came up with it needs to have his head examined. The NUMBER ONE RULE when doing anything in hot and/or humid conditions is have water and DRINK water BEFORE you are thirsty. Good Lord how can anyone be so stupid?
The human body needs water when it needs water. You can’t “will” yourself to continue without it.
This is just outrageous.
If the "hikers" were stupid enough to sign up for THIS, then maybe they got what was coming to them. What happened to PERSONAL responsibility?
