One of the apps I have does show potable water locations! Which is great!I look at the weather forecast and also the number of fountains and only carry about 750 ml where there will be plenty of stops to refill. More (about 2 liters) on the long stretches like after Carrion de los Condes. I liked my Brierly guide for this. I don't recall if the Apps tell you where there are potable fountains...
Lol...that's my thing! I'm use to wilderness/mountains hiking and will usually go through more water due to the strenuous nature of hiking. I'm guessing I won't need as much water for walking through country side!My hydration pack holds 2 liters, but I rarely fill it - only if there are long distances between services. Most days I carry about a liter. On the routes that I have walked I have always found places to refill or buy something to drink during the day. It's not a wilderness hike - there are many fountains to fill up your water plus towns to stop in to buy beverages.
It depends a bit on how hot it is. But even on hot days there are ample opportunities to refill.Lol...that's my thing!

It's called Camino Map: French WayWhich app shows the location of potable water? Thanks
Been there, done that...One tip: don't throw away the (warmish) old water in your bottle until you are sure that the cold tap in front of you is actually working!
HelloHi all! Starting the Frances route next week in SJPDP and was wondering how much water do most people carry?
I'm an avid hiker/backpacker and usually carry at least 2 liters. More from a fear of running out and not being able to refill than actually needing that much!
Thanks!
We each carry two, two liters of water to drink when we walk. Being hydrated not only keeps you from retaining water but also helps to keep ankles, knees and back healthy.Hi all! Starting the Frances route next week in SJPDP and was wondering how much water do most people carry?

Is that what you really meant?Notseeing[being] hydrated not only keeps you from retaining water but also helps to keep ankles, knees and back healthy.
Yes, thanks for the correction.Is that what you really meant?
I think you really meant "not being dehydrated" leads to the benefits, rather than "not being hydrated". I think they are more likely a result of having sufficient water in you than insufficient. If having less water was so good, we wouldn't describe it as insufficient.Yes, thanks for the correction.
I think you missed a "de" before hydrated when making your correction.Is that what you really meant?

@David Tallan, I could not make sense of the post from @Scott Sweeney, but didn't think it appropriate to do other than the obvious proof reading correction that I proposed. Scott has been given the opportunity to explain what he meant. I think it is now up to him to clarify his post.I think you missed a "de" before hydrated when making your correction.It wasn't there in the original, but while you are correcting....
2L will be too much except on one or two of the longer sections if the weather is hot ; or on the few mountain sections ; or if you are planning to walk very high kilometre averages every day.More from a fear of running out and not being able to refill than actually needing that much!
I have a one-liter Grayl with built-in filter. Filled it from pools and ditches two or three times on a hot day with no ill effect. There are other competing water filters available.

Internally, I hopeI limit myself to carrying 750ml.....of whisky a day
By the end of the day, yesInternally, I hope
I usually carry 2L bag in backpack, but rarely fill it to max., so it probably would be 1.5 litres. I drink about 0.5L before breakfast stop. I then have a 1L bottle in a front pouch, which I use to top up as I go, depending on distance between "refill opportunities" and temperatures. For long stretches without any likely fill up, say 15km or more, then I'd drink minimim 0.5L before setting off and carry 2L - split between backpack water system and bottle in front. I found this system worked for me, but everyone has their own way that works for them.Hi all! Starting the Frances route next week in SJPDP and was wondering how much water do most people carry?
