Good Morning, Pack Goat Central.
I have noticed over the last year of hiking with my boys that no matter how tired they are or
how long we have been hiking, the boys don't drink when we come to streams. I thought for
sure that my adult packer would have sucked down some aqua after our first pack trip, but when
we came to a stream on the way out he and my other boys just walked across and didn't drink.
Even when we got home they didn't go for the water. My adult packer went to Salt, then stood with his head against the
wall for 10 minutes and the young boys laid down. Just thought it odd that they were breathing hard
for a couple hours and weren't interested in water.
