Salt and salt-tablets are a way-old wive's tale...with our modern diets, most everyone has way to much salt intake. I bet I am not the only one who remembers having the coach tell us to take salt-tablets...while 'toughening' us up during practice by not drinking water At 20:00 06 January 2005, Cloudy wrote: culverflyer wrote: What are X/C Pilots taking along for lunch on the there long flights? 3 litres of water several muesli bars glucose tablets non-melting sweeties At a cross country lecture somebody once recommended water mixed with apple juice and a bit of salt.

I always eat a sandwich and drink a pint (of water you blokes!) on the
flight line before launch. Two camelbacks, one on each side, one with 50% ice (yanks like it cold you know), with the tube velcro attached to the side rail. Sat on a tube one time too many. Besides a wet backside you can't get at it to drink in my ship! Nice to know where the tube is every time. Hardly ever use the 2nd camelback at all but it is nice to know it is there whatever happens. Energy bars, no chocolate ones as they melt, remelt, and get really nasty. Like to take some type of candy, usually altoids, with a few ibuprophen (sp?), in the tin as well. I have a bad back and after three or four hours the Ib really helps when needed. Cold beer from crew upon landing and after the ship is in the box. |

I will drink a bottle of Gatorade or other sport drink prior to flight. Than
I pack the largest Camel back that will fit behind me, filled with 1/2 part frozen water topped off with cold water (stays cold on long flights in the height of any summer). String cheese for protean and energy works very well and takes up little room.PeterK "tango4" wrote in message ... For an all day excursion - 2 regular sandwiches 3 litres water boiled sweets or Werthers butterscotch's No point in suffering! Ian |
