I am planning on a SOBO solo hike in 2016.
I am not worried about the lonliness/solitude. I am not worried about my herniated disc giving me problems. I am not worried about the lions and tigers and bears...oh, my.
I am worried about my sweating. I sweat. A lot!! I am in eastern North Carolina and when I run right now, my shirt, shorts, and shoes are drenched. Granted, it is in the 90s with high humidity but I sweat when I run and the temps are in the 40s.
My plans are to carry a couple extra shirts to switch out during the day and Gatorade mix to replace my electrolytes.
My questions for you fellow heavy sweaters: How much extra water did you have to carry during your thru hike? Also, what other preparations, products, or gear advice do you have for a heavy sweater?
Thanks...Mike
