Can I drink clean water outdoors with gravity fed water filter?

Water is essential for the body's metabolism, regulation of body temperature and the delivery of nutrients to the whole body. In the wild, without food, we can stick to it for a week or longer; Without water, you can only last for three or four days at most.

 

When the body loses 2% of its body weight, it produces a sense of thirst; When dehydration reaches more than 6%, people feel fatigue, depression and analmia; When the water loss is greater than 20% and it is not replenished, normal activities such as redox and decomposition and synthesis cannot be carried out, which is life-threatening.

 

People lose water from daily breathing, urinating, urinating, or sweating. In particular, when outdoor mountaineering is mostly in the plateau area, the air is dry, the radiation intensity is high, the water loss on the surface of the body is fast, and the body water demand increases. Then a gravity fed water filter is needed when you go outdoor.

 

 

Secondly, in order to take in more oxygen, the breathing will deepen and accelerate, and the water will be brought out; In the state of hypoxia, in order to obtain more oxygen, the body will produce a large number of new red blood cells, making the blood become viscous, and enough drinking water can maintain the balance of the body and make the blood circulation smooth.

 

Finally, mountaineering is a high-intensity exercise, the muscles produce a lot of energy to cause the body temperature to rise, at this time the sweat will be intensified, through the sweat evaporation to take away a lot of body heat, so that the body temperature drops.

 

If the intake of water is insufficient, the balance state is broken, the body will begin to dehydrate, and in severe cases, it will lead to heat stroke, muscle spasms, edema and other consequences.
