Keep thirst at bay
by Ray Powell
(China)
I'm now retired and living in China. I'm native american and I was a big game hunter and guide in north west Montana. My grandfather showed me a way to keep the feeling of thirst at bay.
Find a small clean pebble ( the size of an m&m ) and place it in your mouth and roll it around. Sounds silly, but try it, you will be amazed at just how well it works.
This is by no means a substitute for getting water, but keeping the mouth moist will keep you from being less desperate.
I hope this little tip helps.
