Poor Planning
Or actually great planning in some regards. Unlimited water and a toilet saved me today as my intestinal fortitude completely fell apart today. I’m not going to get into the gritty details but let’s just say I lost a lot of water. I’m not venturing too far from base camp.
My guess is that I forgot to soak and then boil the seaweed, instead just drying it out and then roasting. That, combined with a much smaller food intake and high salt content, likely contributed greatly. Needless to say I learned my lesson for the day: boil everything or say bye bye to your bowels.
