Off topic, but always interested in conversation with people who have practiced self reliance in walking outback.
Les, 16 litre per person for 6 days?
Did you access water from the terrain to supplement?
Or manage on 2.6 litres per day?
I have heard that people do manage this, although I am a water guzzler myself. Hiking with 30kg I consume about 8 litres of water in 24 hours in day time temps of 30C degrees, walking in firm sand dunes.
About 4 litres in cool 20C walking on stone and flatter surfaces than dunes.
How many of you were hiking and the weight of your packs?
