Howdy friends, so a couple weeks ago I went for a day hike at Joshua tree state park, I carried about 8 liters of water in with me but had to leave a lot sooner than expected because I'd gone through all my water in about 4 hours. And I ended up leaving feeling very dehydrated even though I went through that much water, am I drinking my water too fast? I drink when I'm thirsty and honestly it seems I can't drink enough water to sate me for more than 30 minutes. How do you guys go through your water supplies? And any tips on extending my water usage?
I guzzle as much water as I can in my car in the parking lot or trail head, I bring a separate water bottle for that. But do you run or walk to fast and start sweating to much? I usually only bring my 3 liter water bag/backpack and carry a sawyer filter just in case. But then I don't live in a desert, I do it to save weight.

I generally just walk but after some reading I think it's mostly due to not hydrating the night before, anyways general hydration thread?

Hydration is about more than just water. Electrolytes are super-important.
