Jan 31	comment	Where are good places to look for water sources when I have run out on a multi-day hike? Also: plan. If you're going to be in that type of area, know your water sources. Ask locals. Take a contour map and mark the area. Tell people where you're going, leave a trip plan with the local ranger station, be prepared.
