Test hike is 35 miles.
Biggest is 105, but I wont be doing that flippantly.

>chapped lips and dying of thirst is an even bigger burden
>Plan your hike around water sources
Of course, this is why I made OP, because idk the area and only went there because I knew there was a water source, but the area has been majorly changed and even the water source has gone.

>Also using 1-2l for cooking and bathing
This was just me rounding up water for simple sake, not actual plan. I cant plan until I seriously think about it and asking anons here is the first step of teh plan. Anons have to have experience of long hikes.

I got wet wipes (biodegradable) for bathing and ablutions. Never use deodorants or scented crap, it attracts insects. Use talc for chafe.
Food wise I would take small tins of mackrel for energy and cook rice in a mess tin. With of course other small bits of vegetables and fruit. Plus beef jerky for protein if in desperate need.
I would be eating very simply, and of course the pack gets lighter as we go.

I genuinely dont have experience with long hikes. Every time I have done long distance on foot is for running or walking for exercise, and every time I have solo camped it has been wild camping within a distance of a water source.
This would be very unique to me.

So that is like 6kg.
Massive pack burden while hiking.
Fine for a one journey back to the camp but hiking with that is so burdensome that I would probably drink half of that before I got to the next camp. Negating the reason to even carry it!
