All this tech foodstuff - energy gels, vitamin water. Back in the day (not backpacking or hiking as much as I used to), we would simply drink water and pop a vitamin tablet or two. I'd get my sodium from the Mountain House stews or from salted peanuts or other snacks. We'd drink a ton of Kool-Aid at camp, usually generic grapeade!
