Any suggestion on what energy drinks to put in my hydration pack ? What
about snacks for energy ?

I've been using Gookinaid since the 70's. I've tried most of the others
on the market, but have always come back to it. I find it to be the most
palatable (I recommend the orange and lemonade flavors) and it's also
considerably less expensive than the others, particularly if you buy it
by the case. REI sells their small sample pack and the 1 kilogram tubs.

Yeah, that's pretty good stuff. One important thing, at least for me, is
not just the energy, but the electrolyte replacement. I got myself into
a really bad state once: drank plenty of water, didn't eat much, and
ended up cramping all over. Couldn't even take my paddle jacket off at
the takeout, hands wouldn't let go. Since I've started taking a Camelbak
of water and a bottle of Gatorade or Gookinade, no problems

Never heard of Gookinade.
When my son was sick awhile back and we were concerned about dehydration his
doctor recommended Powerade instead of Gatorade. It's not as sweet but
otherwise has all the same good stuff in it and hydrates just as well.

Gookinade is much more effective for me than Gatorade, because Gookinade
is much higher in potassium, whereas Gatorade contains sodium and sugar
with hardly any potassium. Without potassium I get headaches.
Avocados, bananas, and Clif Bars contain goodly amounts of potassium.
Another highly effective strategy is to bring potassium salt for dinner.
Haven't used Powerade.

Gookinaid is actually used in hospitals as an "oral IV" for rehydrating
people. The new name of the product is "Hydrolyte", which is proably how
it would be known in hospitals.

I do exactly the opposite. I carry Gookinaid in a hydration bladder on
my PFD and water in my day hatch as a backup fluid source. I've found
that drinking primarily Gookinaid prevents me from feeling bonked before
lunch and at the end of the day.

I use the camelback because it ensures I'll drink constantly, not just
when I have time to pop the skirt. And I think I need about twice as
much plain water (50 oz reservoir) as I do Gookinade (22 oz bike bottle).

It's in a neoprene pouch I made that attaches to the back of my PFD.

It's a Stohlquist accessory pocket that I've jury rigged to the back of
my Palm and Extrasport PFDs, with a Platypus bladder inside.

I've learned a trick that works for me, especially when when playing up a
CLass III-IV river all day long, I mention this because I get into so much I
often forget to properly hydrate....do a 50\50 mix of water and gatorade.
The GA by itself does not quench your thist.

Ya the class III and IV is where I'm worried about using up allot of
energy. Gatorade seems to be the best so far. I manage to make it
through one run down the river without lunch. Not again. I was really
dragging by the time we were done.
