For me, it was hiking to a waterfall in Costa Rica with no food and only one bottle of water. THANK FUCK it rained; we would have been in trouble if I couldn’t have had sips of water from the leaves to stay hydrated, and if the temperature had stayed as high as it was.
Similar problem for me in Kakadu in 48 degree heat. Went for a little 1 kilometre walk with a bottle of Coke Zero, no water. Almost passed out from heatstroke 50 metres from the van when coming back. There was nobody else around, I would have been fucked.
