Отговорът зависи от
условията, в които пребивавате, наличността на водоизточници по маршрута,
дължината на прехода, скоростта на придвижване и активностите, които извършвате
по пътя. В условията на умерен климат и еднодневни преходи е добре да започнете
прехода с поне литър вода в раницата. Разумно е да добавите още един, в случай
че ви се наложи да извършвате медицински манипулации или следващият
водоизточник на картата ви е пресъхнал. Това
количество е недостатъчно за дълги преходи, затова при
планирането на вашата екскурзия трябва да помислите за попълване на запасите ви
от вода по маршрута. Отбележете на картата възможните водоизточници. Съобразете
наличността, достъпността и пълноводието им в зависимост от сезона. Не
забравяйте, че дори и най-чисто изглеждащата вода може да е замърсена. Винаги
имайте поне един метод за пречистване на вода при многодневни преходи.
Water is essential for trips in the outdoors, not only for drinking needs, but for first aid, hygiene, refreshment, preparation of food and so on. It often makes up the heaviest element of your equipment, but how much water is enough and what should you carry it in?
The answer depends on the environment, the availability of water sources along your route, the length of the journey, your speed and activity. For full-day trips in a temperate climate a minimum of 1 L is recommended. An additional 1 L is good to have in case you need to do medical procedures or the next water supply along your route turns out to have dried out. This amount of water, however, will not be sufficient during long treks. and in this case you will need to consider and map out places where you could refill your water supply, taking into account water source availability and seasonal variations. Don't forget that even clear water can be non-potable and always have at least one method of water purification for trips that last several days.
What should you store your water in? There is plenty of choice, from plastic bottles sold in supermarkets to aluminum, steel and titanium flasks especially designed for outdoor use and available from specialty stores. Glass bottles are not recommended. It is a good idea to split your water supply in several vessels, so that if one gets lost or damaged you will still have a back-up. The bottles need to be durable, easy to refill and use. Transparent bottles let you see at a glance how much water you have left, whereas several bottles in different colours will allow you to sort your water according to its quality or intended use.
Как да
пренасяме водата? Изборът е наистина голям, от обикновените пластмасови бутилки,
които ще намерите в супермаркетите до алуминиеви, стоманени и титанови съдове специално разработени за условията на излет
сред природата
и предлагани в специализираните магазини. Стъклените бутилки са неподходящи. Носете
водата в няколко отделни съда, така в случай че единият се загуби или повреди
ще имате резервен. Добре е бутилките да са здрави, полупрозрачни, за да позволяват да видите
колко вода ви остава, лесни за допълване и използване във всякакви
условия. Няколко бутилки в различни цветове ще са полезни, в
случай че трябва да разделяте водата по качества или предназначение.

Когато желаете да
се движите с бързо темпо, без да спирате и без да дозареждате може да използвате
съвременните хидропакове. Препоръчителният обем е 2-3 литра, имайки в предвид дължината на прехода и факта, че почистването и презареждането
на хидропака не е толкова лесно, колкото при бутилките. Освен това носенето на
повече от 3 литра вода ще ви забави в
началото на прехода.
Hydropacks are a good option when you need to move fast without stopping for a refill. The recommended volume is 2-3 L depending on the length of your trip and considering the fact that they are more difficult to clean and refill compared to bottles. In addition, carrying more than 3 L of water will slow you down at the beginning of the trip.

За тези, които
искат да са свръх-леки има алтернативи, базирани на водопочистващи филтри с лек и минималистичен дизайн,
които се използват за пиене на вода от различни водоизточници по маршрута ви. Свръх-лекият подход изисква много добро
планиране и не е препоръчителен за неопитни хора и дълги или зимни преходи. Движението по зададения маршрут трябва да е в умерено темпо, и предполага наличието на достатъчно водоизточници по маршрута и опит, знания и
умения, които да намалят всякакъв риск.
If you want to travel ultra-lightweight, there are alternative devices based on water filtration systems that allow you to drink straight from a water source along your route. An ultra-lightweight trek requires exceptional planning and is nor recommended for inexperienced travelers, long or winter treks. You should move at a moderate pace and ensure there are enough water sources along the way and that you have sufficient skills, knowledge and experience to ensure that you are not left without a supply of water.
